I was verbally attacked
by a woman
last week
who thought my latest story
was setting women’s lib back
a hundred years.
It was trash, garbage, sh*t.
I asked her
if she had read the book.
She hadn’t
but she had ‘heard’ about it.
I offered to send her
a free copy.
She declined that offer.
I suspect she was worried
reading my book
would cause her
to stop her ranting.
Jackie Collins,
a fierce trailblazer in writing,
once stated
“The biggest critics of my books
are people who never read them.”
I suspect that’s true
of your biggest critics also.
They haven’t even tried
your product/service.
They’re scared to
because they might like it,
might have to stop
their ranting.
The best response to a critic
is asking
if they’ve tried your product/service.
I suspect they haven’t.
