Fact per Mike Wonch: It ain’t a good review unless I throw a tantrum and CRY |
|
Do you love to review? Do you correct the spelling when you see 'washe me' written on a dusty car? JPS "What we as writers really want is usually a combination of what we say: ("I want honest comments, ("tell me what I am doing wrong, I want to learn") and what we feel: ("This is a great story, I spent hours writing it and I love it, it is my baby and I want everyone to tell me how brilliant it is.") This is rather hard for the reviewers to deliver, especially when they are also writers and know of this dilemma." JPS "Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever." ~ George Orwell Discussion is welcome, encouraged, fun, and it relieves stress. We also learn useful stuff. |
