Your Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Review

So today I'm over at Writer Unboxed talking about that lovely rite-of-passage for every published author - yes, the really, really, really bad review. I share my own experience when a newspaper that shall remain nameless but rhymes with Pashington Toast, gave The Department of Lost and Found a "D-." YES. A D freakin' minus. Hey, hey reviewer, thanks for the "minus!" I really needed that just to push my dignity a little further into my bowels. :)

No, really, in the end, it's all okay. Head on over there to find out why.

Apparently, reviewers do not realize that since they have never actually published a novel, they may not be best qualified to evaluate someone else's.

Priceless! Thanks for the great post and the hearty laugh.
