I had to show Mark I took him seriously enough to put out
real
effort. I could
have just bitched, but it would only have been sniping. I
also
don't like to
offer comments that are not constructive. I think you'd have
understood that.
Mark, one of the joys of authorship, sometimes considered a
bane
by some, is
having someone take you seriously enough to give you an
honest
appraisal of your
work. It isn't always gratifying to the ego, but I've found
that
even hostile
reviewers, and I'm not one, come up with a grain of truth.
I've
also found that
it really pissed them off when I took the good stuff in what
they
said and came
back with a much improved writing. Vengeance is doing
better. And
I got to review
their stuff eventually. It sucked.
