I'll put it to use for a certainty. And I agree with you wholeheartedly on viewing one's work as a 'child'. I've said the very same thing often myself.

I myself wrote a post on this subject that met approval from the readers.<br />No matter how hard it is, think about who is the person tramping all over your endless hours of work.Think about the person who writes the bad review. Is the person who posted the review another aspiring fellow author? So perhaps a bit of jealousy transpired into the review. Or is the reviewer someone who writes only bad reviews? Or someone who tries to catch the attention? Or someone who makes a policy from shredding other people's work? Then ignore the review. Don’t let it bother you. <br />Well, as my mentor Shawn-Rost Hawen told me once: "make a file with all five and four stars reviews you've received and read it several times. It will certainly bring back your confidence in yourself." It worked for me.<br /><br />Best of luck with your writing, Gregory!<br />Carmen<br />http://shadowspastmystery.blogspot.ro/ carmens007https://www.blogger.com/profile/13921618455197027274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853545023694757538.post-13471636564630908482013-08-03T07:08:54.537-07:002013-08-03T07:08:54.537-07:00Thank you bn100, and thanks for stopping by.Thank you bn100, and thanks for stopping by.Gregory Delaurentishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983133676746509153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853545023694757538.post-36008355550737940042013-08-02T21:25:31.552-07:002013-08-02T21:25:31.552-07:00Nice post
