So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.

That...Wow... teach me to post form an iPhone...<br /><br />That's meant to say that I "pared back my reviewing" and that I'm "Not just a review. I'm a potential target".<br /><br />My point is that even if it's profoundly unlikely that someone other independent author is going to get his knickers in a bunch over a non-glowing review, why take the risk and the drama that would follow? Plus I like to think my stuff is good enough as to NOT be a "look how bad it is" pick up, but not as "WOW!" as being able to stay on people's radar if it has enough negatives to push it down below the 4 star average.<br />Rob Ostermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226679027078689566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442913746123333079.post-61835340837957168592013-01-07T07:06:17.842-08:002013-01-07T07:06:17.842-08:00When I started really writing I really pared back ...When I started really writing I really pared back my writing and with it my reviewing. It's been a tough spot to be in because I want to support other independent authors but I also know that I'm ~just~ a review. I'm a potential target.<br /><br />I've never worried about having a review pulled as negative, but I have, with nearly every review, wondered if I was going to incur some kind of irrational wrath directed at me.<br /><br />I know it's profoundly unlikely but I just can't afford it so I chose to avoid taking that chance. As a general rule if I can't say something positive I at least try to spin the non-positive as much as I can.<br /><br />Rob Ostermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226679027078689566noreply@blogger.com
