Anonymous said:...Wonderful comments, y'all ... <br />Anonymous said: ''...love librarians and hate to see them die, but oh well ... '' for some reason, that struck me funny. You MUST be one of those dry wit librarian, no? <br />Terry Shames said, ''You learn to take the critiques and use them to make your writing better..'' So true. Writers who can't take criticism need to get out of the kitchen ... or something ;-) Thanks, too, for the kind words about my mom. She DID indeed have a great run. <br />Hi, too, to Anne and Marji.

Sounds like she had a great run. <br /><br />I want to second your advice for aspiring writers. It's especially a good idea to take part in a writers' group, even if for a little while. It will thicken your skin, for one thing. I've been reading about people being upset about negative reviews and I wondered why my few negative reviews have rolled right off my back. I realized it probably has to do with being used to fielding remarks in groups where my work was being critiqued. You learn to take the critiques and use them to make your writing better. So the same is true of reviews. When you get less-than-wonderful comments about your work, you know to either use it or ignore it. <br /><br />By the way, I have not read your books before Deborah, and I'm going to start now!Terry Shameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202071611825887999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-55385233527913817802013-09-26T10:42:46.439-06:002013-09-26T10:42:46.439-06:00Sounds like a hoot.

That's just the sort of thing that would happen to me!<br />I lost a sister to Alzheimers/dementia last year. I never knew there were so many different kinds of this disease. My sister forgot how to move, but she served as the brain trust for our family. If one of us couldn't remember something, we always asked Carol. Now she's gone on to direct those in the next life and to save us a good seat...<br />I've enjoyed your Mace series. I'm switching gears myself with a new series next year. I was ready for something different, and I expect you are too.<br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-5929859672619693722013-09-25T11:21:57.719-06:002013-09-25T11:21:57.719-06:00I really love this series.
