When people first started reading my books, I remember feeling upset when they would point out anything that was wrong or that they didn't like. I had to learn that (1) I want my books to be better and that happens through critiques and edits and (2), they aren't insulting me by saying those things, they are looking at and judging my book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316328217006467698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-36489247558143954252014-06-06T20:29:06.149-05:002014-06-06T20:29:06.149-05:00Yes, I am!

I have a fiction crush on Hale :)<br /><br />I read I'd Tell you I Love You, But I'd Have to Kill You years ago and liked it, but didn't love it enough to stick with the series. It was interesting to see how much her writing has matured since the first Gallagher girl book. I'm definitely going to try that series again.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-16804844688647501122014-06-06T15:20:11.893-05:002014-06-06T15:20:11.893-05:00Totally off topic, but I saw on Goodreads that you...Totally off topic, but I saw on Goodreads that you're reading the Heist Society Series! I love, love, LOVE these books! If you do, too, you should try Ally Carter's other series, the Gallagher Academy books.

But, like you said, they're not talking about me.

But we have to keep creating for the sake of those who enjoy our art, not for the ones who don't. <br /><br />Thanks for this reminder, Jill!<br /><br />Tessa<br />www.christiswrite.blogspot.com Tessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-43802161789806359092014-06-05T08:48:02.778-05:002014-06-05T08:48:02.778-05:00That is, on all counts except To Kill a Mockingbir...That is, on all counts except To Kill a Mockingbird, because I haven't read it yet...I want to, though!Amanda Fischernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-68823012605845371562014-06-05T08:47:26.121-05:002014-06-05T08:47:26.121-05:00Seconding Whitney :)Seconding Whitney :)Amanda Fischernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-24657696468726832882014-06-05T08:33:43.562-05:002014-06-05T08:33:43.562-05:00I am really enjoying these inspirational posts!
