How NOT to handle criticism

[printbar]

I assume that we've all heard about Mrs Jacqueline Howett, author of The Greek Seaman and, it turns out, basket case?

In case you've not seen it on the twitter or elsewhere on the internets, enjoy: BigAl's Books and Pals: The Greek Seaman / Jacqueline Howett

Palm, meet face. Face, palm.

Thanks for posting. A cringeworthy highly entertaining read!

Brilliant. No, I hadn't heard of her, thank you for drawing my attention to it - so funny.

[Ian Bonner]

lol excellent.

[bigdave]

BRILLIANT. The highlight for me has to be her response of F**k off before actually taking her own advice and not posting again

She didn't give up I was cringing while reading it thinking why don't you stop digging that hole you crazy goose

Hahaha same, further down she says it again. Clearly lost for words...or maybe just writer's block.

Like this - bunny boiler or what?

Clearly the author is more interested in the fame for writing something than the actually writing and thus wants everyone to think she is great at it. I bet she brags a lot about "being an author". Shame. From what I have read its not that bad, its not comparatively as good as Harry Potter per se, but I'm certainly not thinking "how the heck did she get published".
