For the first time since
paper and ink became available to all, writers and published authors have the
ability to shape public opinion about their work. Many might think this a
blessing, but some, like me, are reticent to believe that our thoughts
and assumptions are the universal norm, and shy away
from categorizing a work. I mention this because having
discovered that a review for Book 2 of Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing was
posted under Book 1; I've had to think about this lately.
I know that relevance,
beauty, and articulation are in the eye of the beholder making each action and
reaction their unique footprint which no one else can duplicate. And that’s the
way God planned it, and that each believer brings their very best to God.
Sometimes while reading reviews of books I think I might like to read, I find
the authors work criticized by those who would never chose to leave the path
most taken. And that’s alright too. What isn’t alright is someone
who writes a review that adds elements to the story or categorizes a character
in a way not written about in the novel. This is where I draw the line! This is
the dividing point between; you didn’t like the read, and writing a review to
damage the work and its message.
Of course all of us love to
get or read five star reviews, but I’m not writing about that! I am writing about people who while reading a work make up their mind within the first page or two that
the story has no merit and continue reading to prove they are right. Those
individuals, and I know a few, are eager to say that there are grammatical
errors. Whenever I hear that comment, I remind myself that there is a huge
difference to letting the character tell the story rather than the author forcing a
character to act as prescribed by any set form of sentence structure or grammatical rules.
Therefore, my advice to
you is that you read and/or write enthralling stories that captivate you, and take you away to an altogether different place where you experience
something you cannot put down until you finish the read.
Here are my recent 5
star reviews, which you'll find posted on Amazon. Each of these “Paula Pix’s Books”
took me on a journey I will never forget. Enjoy!
While
reading “Sugar’s Dance,” I laughed, cried, and loved this book because it shows
that family is about heart-ties and the one you love is your home! http://www.amazon.com/Sugars-Dance-ebook/dp/B0061QJVW0/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1371761748&sr=1-1&keywords=sugar%27s+dance
"After
Forever Ends" gets a 5* review from me! An unforgettable story written
with great love! http://www.amazon.com/After-Forever-Ends-ebook/dp/B009ODTG86/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1370468223&sr=1-1&keywords=after+forever+e
“Anessias
Quest” is an amazing read! I believe this was written so we could realize that
God uses broken people who know Him to help others. http://www.amazon.com/
