[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What do you say[/b] to a friend who has published a romance novel that you think is TERRIBLE? It's published by a respected publisher (like Simon & Schuster, but not S&S). I just can't think of a positive thing to say. I truly love this friend and am in awe that she is a published author, while mothering two little sons, and I've told her so. [/quote] [i]I cannot believe you are a published author! I am so proud of you! I recommended the title to the library so you can get more readers. Do you have any ideas for your next novel?[/i][/quote] Exactly, you find SOMETHING positive to say (clever plot twist, detailed descriptions or character development, impressive that she found the time to complete it despite the other demands on her time..). Any adult with decent social skills should be able to find something nice and supportive to say. Come on. [/quote]
