Bad Review Blues?

Getting some bad reviews of your book, or worrying about same? You know what? I and my publisher dialogued about this. He's a new publisher and he's scrambling for income and he told me even a bad review has value. Even a bad review says the griping reviewer was energized enough by the story to take the time to write the review in the first place. Beats silence - which is pretty much my take in general. I’ll listen to ANY comment about what I have presented to the public. And some of the crank stuff I have had said about what I wrote was spot-on. It led to improvements in more than one of my stories. Of course, neither I nor my publisher were talking about vitriol. Angry, scathing blather isn’t useful. Don’t like it? Tell me why? You will be my benefactor. No lie.
