We all share a bit of ourselves with others...but have to remember when enough is enough.<br /><br />But...I have to ask? What's wrong with talking about the books you have published on your own group? Did I miss something there that was essential to the BrennaLyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399508130752035374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-54268768494947870212010-02-22T17:39:01.158-05:002010-02-22T17:39:01.158-05:00It's truly amazing how vitriolic some people c...It's truly amazing how vitriolic some people can be online. Too many people write the letter in a rage and don't stop to think -- anytime I write something harsh, I let it sit for at least a day. Then I make a calculated decision to send it. But I have never succumbed to sending nasty messages for all to see. Those go to a couple of good friends I have who send me their bitches in return.Pat Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824114343214016153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-40639594993630108452010-02-22T16:20:31.585-05:002010-02-22T16:20:31.585-05:00D--Oh, I hear ya!

I do think that many people aren't remembering how very public these forums are--when you post something to Facebook, it *isn't* the same as calling up your best friend to vent. It's more like posting it on a billboard!

I think from time to time everyone hates their profession. But coming on like writing is the worst gig on the planet and maybe a life flipping burgers would be better is not only tiresome, but disingeunous. C'mon.

That kind of bitching and whining should be reserved for private conversations with your closest buddies. Bad reveiws? We all get one from time to time. And there is always some kind of drama or bashing going on. I don't like to see that happen publicly. It makes us all look so bad. This kind of thing always comes backRegina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.com
