Then, when you got up, you jumped into a victory dance? Surely.

And that's a great idea about future reviews, I'd not thought about approaching it that way. Merci!D.A.

Well deserved. <br /><br />I wouldn't presume to offer advice on handling reviews, but this worked for me: when the reviews start rolling in, read them all. The more you read, the less you'll believe them (whether favorable or not) and focus on what you can control, which is your writing. <br /><br />By all means, though, save the good ones to re-read when you're staring at the computer screen with your mouth open, trying to think of something to write while your deadline approaches.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02069656952527430818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238764490786855274.post-8327013261155699002012-07-09T18:17:42.164-05:002012-07-09T18:17:42.164-05:00Much Ado About Nothing, huh? :)
