RWA has always been a font of knowledge and support for me. Yes, I have a critique group. I value them nearly as much as my family. Reviews may be difficult at times to read. Reviews do exactly what they are supposed to do which is make readers aware of books they might like to read.
Most writers realize that reviewers are individuals with subjective opinions.
Some will be wonderful, others won't. Naturally, I think all reviewers who love my books are geniuses and those who don't are misguided. Seriously, reviewers bring notice to our books. I felt a rush of adrenalin that lasted through the entire day. I called everyone I knew.
