Up until this point, there’s one thing that I’ve not yet had to deal with as a writer, a negative public review. Oh, I’ve gotten bad reviews via e-mail, as with the reviewer of Haunting Sins who said that I had no clue what the point of the novella format was, and that I was boring. But they wrote that in private, and up until now, what I would do with a bad public review was only an abstract idea.
The negative review for Blind Rage is on this page.
My response after the cut…
Okay seriously, I’ve given enough bad reviews myself to know that not everyone will like my stories. And if I can’t take the heat, I really shouldn’t be dishing it out either. Sure, lots of online douchebags do this all the time. But I’ve often tried to insist, “No, people, I’m an entirely different breed of douchebag. That’s not my style.”
In short, my response is to post the review for your inspection, and then move on without commenting on the reviewer’s findings.
So, now you know how I react to bad public reviews. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go crack open the absinthe, listen to goth music, and mope in a dark corner for a few hours.

Just FYI, I read your story on The New Bedlam Project and I loved it. Interesting, well written, tight.
Blind Rage just isn’t up to the same standard.
Kudos to you for your professionalism in response to a harsh review though.
I would like to ask that you read Chapter 13, to see how Gavin and Jobe have changed since Jobe came off of his medication. I feel it’s a world of difference.
As for the head hopping, you will ALWAYS dislike my third person narrated stories, because head hopping is part of the narrator’s job. If you prefer POV pure narration, I recommend Zombie Punter. First person perspective, and guaranteed, no head hopping.
Cheers.
