I was driving home from the gym this morning (I hate running on the treadmill, but I would hate running in the dark on the ice even more) feeling sort of sorry for myself, because I don’t have a very thick skin and I am starting to recognize that I really need one if I am going to not go crazy once people start reviewing my books. Because not every book is for every reader. I myself don’t like every book I read, so I can’t expect everyone to loooove my books.

Anyways, I was just cresting the hill to go down to my house when I saw a shooting star, and promptly made a wish. And I thought, “okay, universe, I get the idea. Stop feeling tragic and focus on writing what you love.”

On the other hand, I’ve been thinking more about my own reviewing habits. One of my goals for this year is to put up actual reviews on Goodreads/Amazon/etc for the books I read.  On that note, I posted some questions open to discussion on the Debut2009 community.
