I rite gud
I got an emailed reaction to my Library Journal article yesterday. The sender was, shall we say, not a fan. (Though a polite detractor, I must say.)
And I was thrilled. No, I really was! Because the negativity in every single word demonstrated past the least doubt that the sender believed everything I wrote that article to question—and if the sender bothered writing to me at all, I must have hit some kind of nerve!
Go me. I got my message across. That’s all I ask from my own writing.
I didn’t reply. In my estimation, there wasn’t enough common ground to create a productive discussion for either of us, and I don’t believe in unproductive sparring.
