But it's not always so easy to let the criticisms slide off your back in public.<br />The most recent update I've heard is that Howett's sales have gone UP since this incident. I'm still not convinced it was a publicity stunt, but I hope she'll be able to move on from here in a positive way. And perhaps handle the next criticism a little differently!Charlotte Jane Ivoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122618385157822326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319999475100877452.post-43881719547377558852011-04-18T08:35:03.154-07:002011-04-18T08:35:03.154-07:00I saw all this on Nathan Bransford's blog and ...I saw all this on Nathan Bransford's blog and thought it was a fascinating example of the power of the internet. As I read the first couple of rounds of comments by the author, it seemed like she was asking for a backlash, but when she wouldn't let it drop, it became pretty clear that she was having a meltdown and was unable to act in her own best interests. At that point, the pile-on just seemed voyeuristic and cruel.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your comment on how she could have responded in a positive way. If I ever have to face what I think is a bad review, I hope to be able to channel that kind of constructive graciousness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319999475100877452.post-89906077010528872532011-04-05T18:58:59.314-07:002011-04-05T18:58:59.314-07:00Thanks for your comment, Donna. To be honest, I...Thanks for your comment, Donna. To be honest, I'm just not sure what I think about Ms Howett. As I mentioned, I feel for any author who gets a bad review - it hurts, whether it's justified or not. <br />I got the feeling from reading the review and the subsequent comments, that Howett was getting more and more wound up, and digging herself deeper into a hole. At some point she <i>may</i> have realised how silly she was being, but by then it was too late. I know I've done that before - but thankfully only in RL (real life), where conversations aren't recorded forever! :)Charlotte Jane Ivoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122618385157822326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319999475100877452.post-47637662900986571772011-04-05T17:44:00.617-07:002011-04-05T17:44:00.617-07:00I heard about this when it initially happened and ...I heard about this when it initially happened and I read Nathan's blog today. While I agree that people heading over to Amazon to rub salt in the wound are just being plain nasty, I don't agree that someone like this deserves pity.<br /><br />The woman obviously is unable to look within herself and find her own faults, in a few different ways. She then goes insane on the blog owner and the commenters. The internet is nothing new. If you don't know by now that you can't hit rewind and unshoot yourself in the foot, then quite frankly you need a wake-up call.<br /><br />I'd feel sorry for her if she tried really hard and still got unfairly lambasted. But this? No, sorry. The majority of writers know better than this. Why should we feel sorry for the assholes that throw feces at the rotating device when they're standing right in front of it?Donna (Bites)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12585421704517898076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319999475100877452.post-55293102887226736782011-04-05T16:16:00.146-07:002011-04-05T16:16:00.146-07:00As a publicity stunt, did you think it worked?

For me, I don't know if I would want to read a novel by that author now - partly because of her public meltdown, but partly because she appears to genuinely not understand why her use of language was being criticised.<br />Then again, people seem to find fame in notoriety, so perhaps you're right... I'm not sure a publisher will be keen to work with her, though.Charlotte Jane Ivoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122618385157822326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319999475100877452.post-91560675637153510142011-04-05T16:09:21.795-07:002011-04-05T16:09:21.795-07:00I read that a couple of days ago.

Lots of people know her now, but I am not sure how long she'll be able to ride this wave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
