Tearing your readers apart

Even as I type this people are reading my first book. And the fact is, not everyone will like it.

That’s okay. It’s not a big deal. (Besides, I can always blame Jim for the parts people don’t like, right Jim? Right?)

As I continue to work and write, and as people continue to read what I’ve written, I hope I don’t fall prey to launching into defensive rants against my readers. It seems sort of counter-productive, no? Not only are you not changing anyone’s mind, you’re just coming across like a jerk.

It would be like a best-selling author lashing out against Amazon reviewers. Why do this?

Please, Eric, never do this. (That’s me talking to myself.)

    Yeah, that’s cool. I blame you for things when people tell me our works sucks or whatever. Blame is a two-way street. Or something like that.
