Positive or negative--at least they're talking about the books!<br /><br />As for romance snobs, I find that they've usually never read any romance or they'd know, wouldn't they?<br /><br />Megan Cranehttp://www.megancrane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-40942022391393173102013-11-05T16:22:19.889-05:002013-11-05T16:22:19.889-05:00It's hard, but you have to stick to your guns ...It's hard, but you have to stick to your guns or you end up without a story!

Great Post,...Megan or as I know you best Caitlin ;)<br />Great Post, I've always said that authors are very special people, I don't know anyone else who can survive and even thrive with so many critics out there (yeah me included) and I guess what surprises me most about most of my author friends is that you handle those critics with grace and generosity. Oh and for the romance snobs out there shame on you all, don't you know that love makes the world go round and if publishing houses didn't print romance they wouldn't exist<br />xoxo<br />DebThe Reading Frenzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908245479700999445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-1708547401308803012013-11-01T21:36:33.422-04:002013-11-01T21:36:33.422-04:00Thanks for this Megan.

The first one I put out in the world for critiques came back with "I hate the hero" So I changed him. Another critique and I changed more. I lost the vision, the conflict, the guts of my story. Then another critique said, you have two nice people who will be married at the end of Chapter Two. I had to agree.
