If the main character has a Latin name or a Chinese name, then by default it becomes a Latino book or a Chinese book ... even if the storyline is general to all people.Giorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048530131822107559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-42182137349202452972014-08-19T21:54:37.478-06:002014-08-19T21:54:37.478-06:00But I saw it, man.

A person, however humble he may be, takes the time and effort to comment only to see his comment discarded like an old, tattered coat. I paid my nickel. Someone decided not to carry my comment on the Kingdom of La Bloga. <br /><br />In the spirit of the post, you could have at least critiqued my comment, telling me of its shortcomings. I'm still learning. <br /><br />But, instead, it was deleted, squashed, squashed and kicked into the dust pile of deleted comments. <br /><br />Other than that, I have no comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-193807833082207682014-08-19T20:53:48.415-06:002014-08-19T20:53:48.415-06:00From LaBlogaAdmin: About the "Wow" comme...From LaBlogaAdmin: About the "Wow" comment above - <br />We didn't delete any comments, so we're not sure what you mean.

La Bloga's policy continues: some people count, others don't. My comment offered my humble insight and nothing out of the ordinary. But I guess this comment of criticism will bite the dust, as well, suffering the inevitable fate under La Bloga's elitist and quick finger as it strikes the key board. Too bad. There are other Chicano writers out there who something to say, La Bloga, believe/accept it or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-29950866359378267522014-08-19T13:55:07.114-06:002014-08-19T13:55:07.114-06:00When Writers put their work out for the public to ...When Writers put their work out for the public to consume, they open themselves to critique. Critique is good. It helps us grow. Not everyone will respond to the writing the same way. As Readers, we bring with us our own experiences, feelings, and desires for what we want to see in a book. <br /><br />As a Writer, it is often difficult to see our creations--our babies that we birthed and nourished--criticized. I know. I have licked my own "wounds" when my own writing has gotten some kind of negative feedback. It hurts. However, if I want to grow as a Writer and keep creating, then I need to welcome all critique, positive and negative, and learn to weed out what I want to take from it and use that for future writing or for revision. I know it's a tough thing but we have to do it or we won't grow.<br /><br />While I haven't read the book in question, I did read the review. As a Consumer, I appreciate the thorough and honest review of the book. When I review writing, my mission is to improve the work, as well as let others get an idea of whether they want to spend their hard earned dollars on the book. I think RudyG did just that. He gave us his opinion and his reasons, as well as suggestions to make future writing more inclusive and more meaningful to the targeted readers. <br /><br />Authors, including Kat A, need to develop a thick skin before putting their writing out before the public. If they do, they stand to grow as Writers. If they don't, they miss this opportunity.Corina Carrasconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-75438979935063118142014-08-19T07:50:02.292-06:002014-08-19T07:50:02.292-06:00You said most of the relevant cosas, Sedano.

(Although your title could've been "Be taken to heart" instead of "Sting." - a critic.)<br />I also hoped to widen the awareness about new, better approaches for training kids how to deal with bullies. It's not all about snitching. Gracias for your erudition. - RudyG, sometimes a criticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
