Because it can spread like wildfire, and it takes a full team of PR experts to try to clean up the mess. <br /><br />I think Michael Jackson is a great example of what negative publicity can do to a career. He was a great artist, but much of his career was shadowed by the child abuse accusations.Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-21410194974047913922009-07-21T19:12:03.000-05:002009-07-21T19:12:03.000-05:00Timely post!

We all know a few people who are a little too big for their britches and I think in the end, they get labeled as "difficult" to work for.

I am QUEEN of sarcasm and I use it liberally... but I really try to make sure no one will be offended. Obviously, I don't always make the mark.<br /><br />Katie, i have the exact policy. If I review, it's either GREAT, good, or I don't post at all. I figure if everyone does this... there just won't be many reviews on the not so great books. LOL<br /><br />Sherrinda, yes we do! although, sometimes our poor toes get tired!<br /><br />Susan, LOVE the rule of thumb. Be nice is one of my motto's!<br /><br />Jessica... oh my goodness! That is so hard for me too. I LOVE a good debate, and probably get a little, uh, opinionated on my blog sometimes. I've had to go back and completely rewrite stuff before when I got to the end of a post and decided I was being a bit, um, opinionated.

In the writing industry, it's especially easy for us to grow cynical and critical. And proud! But if we try to remain humble and more generous with our compliments than cut-downs, we'll please the Lord and appear much more professional, don't you think?Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-75644947331523022082009-07-21T11:49:35.582-05:002009-07-21T11:49:35.582-05:00I hope I get perceived as not negative.

Then I deleted it. <br />The thing is, my blog, facebook and myspace are for networking as a writer. They're not personal. I have all sorts of people on there I don't know. So I've got to watch what I say. I should be more careful in my personal life too.<br />Great reminder, Krista! And I agree, that guy wasn't too smart.

Rule of thumb: be nice.<br /><br />I don't want a reputation for being snarky or nasty. If I want friends, I need to be a friend.<br /><br />Thanks for a great post. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

But I'm careful ever to name the book I'm not liking. Writing is so subjective. I could talk about some book I hated, but my next door neighbor might have loved it. And it's hurtful to the writer, who breathed life into their story.Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-88635364078110844402009-07-21T07:58:01.567-05:002009-07-21T07:58:01.567-05:00I once posted a negative review on Amazon (not mea...I once posted a negative review on Amazon (not mean, just a review explaining why I didn't like such-and-such book). AFter five minutes, I went back onto Amazon and deleted it. I think that was a good move. This isn't to say we can't have opnions or that we should love every book we read.... I just think, this business where it's already so hard to get your foot in the door...why stick gum on the bottom of your shoe when you don't have to? I deleted the review and decided if i don't like a book, I don't write a review. If I like a book, I write a review. Easy cheesy. :)Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-75785366160441953782009-07-21T07:37:17.340-05:002009-07-21T07:37:17.340-05:00What a wonderful thing to think about, and while w...What a wonderful thing to think about, and while we are at it, to pray about. We do mess up every day (at least I know I do). That is part of why I prayed so long before I ever started blogging. Sarcasm can bite you quick if your words are taken out of context, or if the people reading your words don't understand your personality. I just saw a Twitter post on Rachelle Gardner's Twitter.

Heck, it's practically a second language for me.<br /><br />But I totally understand what you are saying. I am much more careful than I would be if I wasn't trying to become a writer. I think twice before I say ANYTHING...and sometimes I still regret things that I have said in a comment/twitter/facebook post.<br /><br />Great post :)<br />(I promise, I only cried for a day after your comment!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283503033516504436noreply@blogger.com
