Reading your writing made me feel validated and normal as mother. I cried with the relatability of just the day to day experiences. If you’re a cold bitch, than I guess I am, too. But my guess is that your critiquer is scared of raw vulnerability. I can’t speak to the medical portions, but this was about what you experienced, not a medical journal. Keep putting it out there!
Cathy, I AGREE that after publication is more complex and more confusing than Post pub. It's a constant learning curve and exhausting, but also can be so rewarding, especially when your book touches somebody's heart. XOV
Let it go. For your own edification, you might go over the first three chapters to see where you might have got something wrong. Then let it go. It’s done. And remember that there are many others who CAN relate to what you’re saying. You are not a cruel, cold bitch. You’re a sensitive, honest person who has dealt with a difficult situation. I, for one, am honored to be able to consider you a friend. --- Peter
I don't know how I'd react to such a negative review either, but I admire you're putting it out there. We're all going to have them. I hope we can focus on the good ones. Maybe your words were too raw and honest for that reader. Something certainly touched a nerve.
thanks so much for your comment Eileen - at first I thought that person hadn't even read my book and I laughed. That's why I wanted to share it. Yep, it happens to all of us!

Amen, sister!
You’re always going to have a few to say unkind things so just skip over those posts and carry on 🥰
Thank you for always being my top supporter! I love it!
