The truth is, I don’t want to post every review, even every positive review. It doesn’t fit with my goals for the blog, and it would create new pressures.</p> <p>So I think I’ll stick with posting reviews as an exciting exception rather than the rule — but I’m glad you don’t mind it!</p> Felicity http://faerye.net http://faerye.net/post/conditional-love-reviewed-in-march-locus#comment-2609 2010-03-27T21:29:53+00:00 2010-03-27T21:29:53+00:00 <p>Felicity, I think it is just fine for you to post reviews of your work—even if you only post the good ones. After all, life is short, reviews are hard to come by, and why not be your own marketer? If a book gets a bad review, the publisher doesn’t put it on the back cover. Posting good reviews is a way to spread the word on your stories, a way to communicate your art, a way to get readers. Plus, we like to cheer you on and applaud your successes.</p> Thea Swanson http://theaswanson.blogspot.com
