But It's a Dry Heat

Monday, Lessons Learned

As I read this train wreck, a few things came to mind…

A) I’m really grateful for editors.

B) It’s really not a bad review.  In fact, I’ve written nastier reviews.

C) People don’t know the difference between “e-published,” “self-published,” and “indie published.”

D) Apparently, the best way to drive traffic to your blog is to write a [slightly] negative review of an un-hinged self-published author’s book.

E) Or, be the un-hinged author who throws a public snit on a review blog. Though this approach, arguably, doesn’t so much “drive” traffic; more like it re-routes a semi-truckload of bad karma in your direction.
