But it ain’t pretty OR what I wanted.
I’m referring to my I ain’t got nothin’ post from June 03, 2014. Furthermore in You should write a testimonial , posted August 13, 2014, I trash talked testimonials and stated:
I want people to review my work, hopefully favorably. My 100th post was supposed to be celebrated with another five star review to commemorate my … blah, blah, blah. But that never happened. However, if I had received a marginal review I would not have posted it. Why would I? But that marginal review would be there on Amazon or Good Reads for all to see.
And, it is – unfortunately. Even worse, it’s not just a marginal review -IT’S A REALLY, REALY BAD ONE. I’m talkin’ ONE STAR review bad!
One Star,October 23, 2014
- I’m not sad that my cutting and pasting abilities, or lack there of, were unable to c/p that fucking ONE STAR. But I decided to highlight it in orange. It’s almost Halloween AND it’s way scary!
- I think TashN has too high of expectations – probably on everything. Maybe she should read the Underachiever’s Manifesto?! Then we’ll talk, eh?
- Her review wasn’t even a complete sentence. It was a fucking fragment – try writing an entire novel, bitch. With my luck, she probably has and it’s a New York Times Best Seller.
Childish reactions to review are now complete, on with my post.
I know my novel is NOT a one star review. Yes, there are a lot of people who probably disagree with what I’ve written, the way it was presented or the language I chose to include. The anger/tone of my words could make someone having a bad day discard the underlining humor, viewing it as abrasive. The next person could read the entire book in one setting and love every word. So, be it. However, if there are any of you out there – the love every word type – and you haven’t written a review yet – PLEASE DO IT NOW. I need it to up my star average and my self-esteem, for that matter.
Why, you might ask, I am blogging about something I would rather hide? Ugh! I don’t know. I’m really not that big of a person. But, I couldn’t NOT mention this. I think it’s funny and … blog worthy.
That’s all I’s got. Though I do recall a famous author experienced something similar. On the day he/she received major accolades – Pulitzer Prize nomination accolades – for a particular body of work, the author also received a rejection letter from a publisher. Go figure!
By the way – I haven’t and probably won’t include this review on the review page of this blog. Take that TashaN!
