Insecure Writer's Support Group: Ten Tips for Handling Bad Book Reviews: Bad reviews! Any writer with a published book gets crappy reviews. How do we deal with them? Here are ten tips.

Cie Sez:

I don't read reviews of my work, either good or bad. I can read ten good ones and get one bad one and will be fixated on the bad one for literally weeks. It is better for my productivity and my son who has to live under the same roof as my gloomy, melodramatic self if I am in the pit of self-loathing because of a bad review. Laughing at it sounds good. I wish I could do that. Unfortunately, I'm not wired that way. So, facing reality, the best thing for me to do is not read my reviews.
