I don't want to embarrass or discourage anyone.<br /><br />Jean - definitely! Me too. <br /><br />Lisabet - don't worry! I love that you always take the time to comment. I barely have enough to read, never mind say anything constructive. And I totally agree. I don't even know what these people think they will gain from fake rating other people's work. It's not as tho someone's going to buy your book cos another book has a one star review on it.Charlotte Stein aka The Mighty Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938045078503792108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-66771283137870110382012-03-03T06:25:42.605-05:002012-03-03T06:25:42.605-05:00Charlotte,

Re competition,...Charlotte, I love your last line.<br /><br />Re competition, snarkiness & sabotage among writers, this sometimes gets discussed in university lit. classes. The writers who wage war against each other tend to look like overgrown brats in the long run. The ones who help other writers (in the role of friend, editor or supportive publisher) are often remembered for their good taste & good deeds, if not for their own writing. Assuming anyone ever mentions me after my death, I know how I would like to be remembered.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12509598535442845442012-02-28T23:48:55.878-05:002012-02-28T23:48:55.878-05:00Charlotte - Writers actually leave bad reviews of ...Charlotte - Writers actually leave bad reviews of other writers under false names? Why? Is this all a big contest and nobody told me?<br /><br />I can relate to what you're saying about correcting people. I want to help new writers, but I'm terrified that something I say will make them toss their pen and never write another word. I don't want to be that person. It would be different if I knew those magical words that always encouraged people, but I don't. So most of the time I don't say anything.nsibuiKathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.com
