Remember Jacqueline Howett, the author that had a hissy fit when she got a less-than-glowing review?
Well, I found this and thought it would be relevant.

I linked directly to the comment, so you just have to scroll down below the entry. Look at the girl's response to being featured there and how she handles the criticism from other people.
Am I the only one who finds it amusing that a 12 year old can handle a bad review with more maturity than a grown woman?

I am impressed that she has handled criticism in a mature manner and not in the stereotypical "OMG, liek she is not Mary sue!"

It's good to know that writers like that can be civil...

A polite fanwriter who takes advice and gives good explanations to some of the less obvious points of her fic? At twelve years old? Should we call this a miracle?

I wish good luck with all my heart to this girl!

It's nice to know some people actually care about their writing.
Sad, but definitely amusing, too. by Sedri on 2011-04-03 01:42:00 UTC Reply
