New post on BDCWB - how to handle critical reviews

With all the Internet chatter about how authors handle reviews, my latest post on BDCWB tackles the topic, in an article entitled, "Sorry, your baby is ugly." I can't even begin to describe the photo that accompanies this one, but I can only say it fits the title perfectly. See for yourself and tell me what is the harshest advice you've ever had that has helped improve your writing. I promise to share mine, too.

Taking on a new role

Recently, I was offered the chance to take on a new role, as a weekly contributor at the Best Damn Creative Writing Blog - cool name, or what? I'm so thrilled that my first article is up, Genre Fiction: A Love-Hate Relationship, about the joys and pitfalls of writing fiction, and whether or not I have a split personality (Hint: if you think I'll admit to that, good luck). Big thanks to Adrienne Crezo and Cortnee Howard at BDCWB for a great opportunity to connect with writers and readers, and do what I love best.
