"I had to do some research on this. However inappropriate.... what is she doing what is she trying to say? Because she is basing her review solely on covers right?"

I've yet to get a DNF, but I have gotten some brutal one stars that had me huddled in a corner in the fetal position. One person hated my hero and another person complained that my novella (found in the short stories category) was…"

" Vivienne, I just read your article, thank you for the link. Your comments are pretty much how I have decided to handle the comments left in the review. I will say nothing, let it stand and move on. :-)"

"Stacy, Look at this way. The negative reviews can be turned into positive ones. If readers were upset because they wanted more, it means your work was fantastic! You can say, "Readers enjoyed the short story so well, they wanted more.""

My only published work besides poetry, is a short story. I did get great reviews, but the negative reviewers were angry because they wanted more, or they felt it was the beginning of the book instead of what it was...a…"

I'm a new indie author, and I just sat here and read through every single post. Thank you all for the wonderful advice.
Last week I read a review from a woman who marked it as DNF, the review as on Goodreads. Honestly, at first I…"

Here's a sneak preview of chapter 28. It will be free on Tuesday.

Meg Waite Clayton said… Kimberly, We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group! If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. We do a live chat Wednesdays at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one. I hope you’ll enjoy the group.
