We tend to share names of authors we like who write fantasy romances.

This can be a sad world. Do not be overconfident. (And most certainly do not explain.)<br /><br />I come to you as a new reader, not yet having made any firm decisions, but obviously I have an interest or I wouldn't be here. I enjoy reading author's blogs which display something of their personality. To read the other trash sometimes posted can be a really sad waste of time.MeJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872437402692899416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-21283211378643514872010-05-01T12:35:18.266-04:002010-05-01T12:35:18.266-04:00I just want to say that you are a talented author ...I just want to say that you are a talented author and I could not put your books down...

I haven't been following your blog but ...Jacki,<br />I haven't been following your blog but I certainly do appreciate your honesty and sincerity. Since I am a BP II, I can relate to what you feel, what you say.<br />As to those who trash you, especially if they are other authors, consider what would be their motivation. All I can think of is insecurity, jealousy, fear. Why would a writer who is confident of their "place" in the writing world take the time and the effort to trash another writer? He/She would not. Only someone who feels inept so Jacki, consider the source. If the criticism is constructive, take it...if its trashing...ignore it because they are afraid of you.<br />Elviraelvirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821527004173617077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-70106889223789318432010-04-19T00:22:39.647-04:002010-04-19T00:22:39.647-04:00You will always be one of my favorite writers and ...You will always be one of my favorite writers and i love the fact that you choose to be open with us and we love you for that... take care always.charlizeciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089804303401111075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-19938585246157964172010-04-18T21:24:31.931-04:002010-04-18T21:24:31.931-04:00I loved your writing from the very first book I re...I loved your writing from the very first book I read.<br />I thought you were a very talented writer and I danced happily whenever you put out a new book.<br />I just started reading your blog and I have to say the latest one made me grin and shout YOU GO GIRL!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646635991250338434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-4024222273070248642010-04-18T03:07:33.040-04:002010-04-18T03:07:33.040-04:00Just reading the post and thinking.

You chatted with us regularly, and you even called me on the phone a few times.

I am glad you are not one of those holier than tho writers who will sometimes not bother to meet the readers. If you were you never would have let me talk you into coming to Atlantic Canada to meet me and see my part of the world :) Even though it didn't turn out as well as we both hoped, it was a pleasure to have you and B at the house for a few days and to meet you in person :) Any way I can talk you into flying up to see me this summer?

It's almost funny when I'm asked to blog and then they want me to "tell readers something they don't already know." Well, duh. There ain't no secrets. "I yam what I yam," as Popeye would say. Get over it.<br /><br />It's a great post, m'dear, and probably a good part of the reason your readers are so loyal. I don't know about you, but my writing schedule keeps me tied to my desk, and it I didn't have online friends I could spill my guts to, I'd live in a vacuum.<br /><br />I'd suggest you just keep on being who you are, but do stay away from those Amazon reviews.

I love reading a new book that I knew was hard to finish, or that you had a melt down over a certain chapter and gave you headaches. That process is Also LIFE,I am a mother and LOVE the everyday process that pops up with them, cause they pop up here too. LOVE the occasional comments back at us. I am also a woman over 40 and all that entails..yay us.

If y...Girl listen, you do what feels right for YOU. If you want to share with others...guess what? That's your right. If someone has a problem with that, then that's THEIR problem. Don't you dare let them make it yours. No one forces them to come to Your site and read. They come because they want to. They then see the adoration your fans have for you and jealousy and envy take over. Don’t you cry another tear over their pathetic criticisms. They aren't fans and may never be. That's fine, leave them to their poisons. They aren't family and definitely aren't friends. If they betray your trust, they won't get that chance again because now you know them for who they really are.<br /><br />You just keep doing your thing...sharing your gift. Because the haters aren't going anywhere, so you have to remove their importance within your heart and mind. Ignore the hate and bask in the love of your fans. <br /><br />RicaRicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849159017020731880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-87432889458246211872010-04-17T14:18:22.971-04:002010-04-17T14:18:22.971-04:00I love you ESPECIALLY because of your flaws ;)I love you ESPECIALLY because of your flaws ;)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935001783482640922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248816345466212269.post-905604197999087902010-04-17T14:10:16.915-04:002010-04-17T14:10:16.915-04:00Personally, I do not like author's that do not...Personally, I do not like author's that do not care for their audience.
