I would advise you to definitely get that thick skin going on because I can almost guarantee that you will get trolled at least once in a review from someone with a moniker like "haterofall" that leaves a 1-star review on your book. When you do get around to publishing, I would recommend that you set up some Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-90590500414749794562012-09-05T19:06:50.440-05:002012-09-05T19:06:50.440-05:00It seems to me like your doing great so far!

But for every person who thought it was average (or worse), ten times that many enjoyed it. And those are the ones who matter.Alex J.

You seem like you have the right attitude when your work does get published.

Maybe it still would. If anything, we have our blogs and people who, like us, will encourage us to get back in the saddle again. I bet you will continue, if anything, because your followers will be sure to kick your butt back into action. ;)Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.com
