TAXIIIIIII … what looks like a hyphen is a key-fob. I didn’t even notice that it looked like a hyphen until three months later. Now that’s all I can see! *grin* Another friend wanted to know if it was pronounced TA-CHI. I guess I’ll have to call my next book “CAB”.
your fans are probably thinking reviewer 1 didn't get it & reviewer 2 did. i think the golden rule for a book should be that it's ...oh never mind.....
Writing critiques has become a scary job these days because so many authors have gigantic egos coupled with the sensitivity of Little Miss Muffet. Magazine editors say that agents tell them to go easy on X because “she started crying” at the mere hint of a negative review. I, of course, am so rhino-hided that I think it’s great fun just to get any review! Must be my great age! Time, the great toughener of hides!
oh! on another note are you on "this" side or "that" side of the ocean, i.e. will you be able to watch the total solar eclipse on 8 apr? if yes.... please go in area of darkness (no I didn't mean india!) ... am off to mexico myself to watch it.... & look for vegetarian tacos!
I'm here! We’ll see something, I suppose, in RI but not totality. I’ve seen totality (in India, in Rajasthan) and was blown away. Nothing like it. But I’m not in a position to travel towards the path. So I am refusing to fret about it.
pity. anyway.. some other time perhaps . It's quite spectacular and impossible to describe the feeling as you got to experience it - yup almost like THAT!
Is it TAXI or is it TAX-I

I think the point of giving and taking criticism should be for betterment and improvement. Fuck Egos on both sides!
