I read this post at Connie Flanagan’s beautiful blog – check it out here – but decided to reblog the original one.
Agreeing with the text, I’d like to add that I cherish my readers opinions and take to heart both positive and negative feedback because whereas one encourages me, the other challenges me to improve my craft.

I also read all reviews posted on Amazon US and reply to them because I think it’s important I acknowledge those people who took their time to read and comment my work. Regardless if they gave me stellar praise or harsh criticism. I can learn from both.
