Reviews are love

Even bad ones, because that means people are reading my book. Though, the worst review I’ve seen thus far was 3 our of 5 stars for The Human, and their chief complaint was that Story acted like a 25 year old, not a 17 year old. Hey, I’ll be the first to admit I wrote Story as more mature than a typical 17 year old, so it’s a fair complaint. But that’s not the point, the point is, eventually I’m going to encounter someone who hated my book (soon to be books) and that’s okay! I know my writing’s not for everyone.

That said, I am just glowing over this review on BigShinyRobot. My favorite bit:

The Human is a very fun read, very much in the vein of the Chronicles of Narnia or The Hunger Games. It has a very strong female lead, an incredibly well-developed world, a fiendish villain you just love to hate, and above all: a love story that doesn’t actually make you want to gag.

But you can go read the whole thing for yourself on the website. 🙂

p.s.
Yes, I’m still writing my little heart out! Though I don’t think I’ll make my NaNoWriMo Goal… oh well!
