I have, on the other hand, felt ill will from various people in the industry and the press.
Some reviews give pain. This is regrettable, but no author has the right to whine. He was not obliged to be an author. He invited publicity, and he must take the publicity that comes along.
People frequently ask me if adverse criticism bothers me. I've had a lot of it, and I have been able to shrug most of it off.
I was 'Little Ty,' 'Little Tyrone.' I always got this negative feedback from the game of basketball.
Very often adverse criticism goes to craft, and that sounds an alarm to which attention should be paid.
You don't hear things that are bad about your company unless you ask. It is easy to hear good tidings, but you have to scratch to get the bad news.
You know, I can't remember my good reviews. I remember negative ones. They stay in my mind.
I pretty much read reviews and comments only looking for the negative. Literally, when I read positive comments, it's like a zero. I think the issue is if you agree with it or not.
