Yep, sounds like my mom, Kit. Instead of telling me what I did right, or that she loves it, she always manages to point out everything I need to work on. Even on things as simple as doing the dishes, lol. Geez! You can never live down that one dirty dish you forgot to wash. What are mothers for, right? Lol.

Thanks for commenting!

Ha-ha-ha...so cute. Reminds of my Dad, who was my biggest fan, and yet my biggest critic. I think he was my biggest fan because he was my biggest critic. He just wanted me to be the best writer I could possibly be. Can't wait to see book two in your Christmas series. Book one is on my book shelf, where it will remain 'till the end.  
 

Awww... Thanks, Ray! That means a lot to me that you liked my book, too. Thanks for adding a review on Amazon for me. You were the first one. Yay! Did you find any misspelled words? Because you could always compare notes with Grandma, lol. Wouldn't that be funny. Luckily, my dad loves everything I do, whether he reads it, or sees it, or not. The only things he's ever critical about is politics, lol. So thank goodness I don't have a political bone in my body, lol. Gets me off the hook from being criticized by him, I guess. It's my mom who picks me apart. I used to wonder if I ever did anything right in her eyes. Or, is it just tough love? Either way, I don't worry about it too much. We will always have our critics no matter what we do. I'm heading over shortly to read your Chapter 11. Can't wait!

Yeah,my late dad was the critic in my family...whenever he didn't like something i drew he'd tell it straight with no mercy at all!  Mum's always a big fan of my art...she will always say the nicest things about my art even before she actually saw it!
 

Haha... Your dad sounds like my husband, who is actually my biggest critic. Yay! I get to live with mine, lol. Seems he has a hard time telling me when he likes something I do. Instead, he picks it apart like my mom would. If I wanted the one person, who is supposed to have your back on everything, pick apart everything I do then I'll go visit Mom, lol. When I work on a doll, he likes to point out how he'd do it differently. So I hand him a doll and tell him, "Here you go. Have fun with it," lol. 

Your mom sounds like me, or at least what my daughters say of me. I make a big deal over every creative thing they do. My youngest always tells me, "Mom, you always like everything I do," as if she's waiting for me to find something I won't. Not likely. Their little hands made it, so of course I'll always find it all so precious, even if it's a stick figure in pencil, lol.

Thanks, Fern! The world is full of critics. Thank goodness for great, supportive friends like you!



 

 

Thanks, Lil Devil! I know, I was so excited. Apparently, I passed the spelling bee with an A+, and I didn't even know I was in the running, lol. Maybe in the future I should have Grandma edit my books for me before they're published. This way I'll know for sure there are no misspelled words before the books get into the readers hands. She'd make a great editor. And like Santa, she'd check it twice, lol. Yep, she made my day. Grandma ROCKS!

Love ya bunches!
