On negative feedback

madlori:

This is one of the best pieces of writerly advice I ever got.

The next time you’re feeling bad about a negative review or comment, try this trick:

Think of a book you think is prefect and brilliant.  Now to go Goodreads or Amazon and look at its one-star reviews.

Nothing is immune.  There is nothing so wonderful that someone won’t hate it, and nothing so awful that someone won’t love it.
