Life is one full of cognitive dissonance, shaded by both light and dark. That negative reviewer was just not your target audience. There are many of us who are -- many more than mine!

Yes, stick with your authentic voice!!!! It's a really good one. One of the best things about being a writer is that there's an audience for every type of writing. Every writer I know has discovered there are people who don't like her work for reasons basic to the nature of characterization or plot. It feels so personal, but it's usually really not. Your take on this—to be very clear about your content and stick to your style—is excellent.Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.com
