I'm so sorry I missed you! It's would've been great to meet you, and I had signed copies of both books in hand to give away.

I cannot believe I missed you! I was at ALA Saturday and Sunday and would have accosted you if I’d known you were around. So sad I didn’t get to shake your hand. I cannot get Black Hole Sun and Invisible Sun into enough hands, everyone should read and love them

For me, the biggest reason to avoid too much attention to reviews is that it’s a time sink. As for potential danger to our “art,” I actually think the glowing reviews are potentially the most hazardous. We can get hooked on the cheap thrill that a glowing review gives and write toward that next high rather than what the current WIP really wants from us.

Maybe I’ll swear off reviews and see if my focus improves.

Okay… so I totally get where you are coming from. I have thick skin when it comes to critiques b/c I put on my “don’t get defensive” armour, but also swathe myself in my “be sensitive to the stuff that pricks a nerve because that is the stuff you probably need to work on” lotion.

I have had to be careful about listening to every piece of advice — but at the same time I have grown better at hearing and acting on the advice that improves my work.

It’s harder, I expect, hearing criticism about a book AFTER its published. My first one is coming out in September. I’m bracing myself.

Sarah, the app is a Chrome app that allows you to block search results you don’t like on Google. I use to block reviews so that I can’t see them.
