It's a common fact that every writer whether professional or amateur received criticism for the work they have done. No matter how much you love your own work there will always be someone out there who believes they could've wrote it better.
J.K. Rowling received several court claims for plagiarism. Example Larry Potter. She was also heavily criticised for her writing style. (Clearly she kept writing in her own style)
Damien Isaak aka ME accused of plagiarism. Resolved.... (My answer never judge a book by its cover)
Dan Brown for the da Vinci code. They said he's writing was clumsy, ungrammatical and repetitive. (He realised he's writing brought pleasure to millions)
What criticism have you received and how did you handle it ?

Now we know not to use Lorna Fergusson.
Hello Victoria - it's Lorna Fergusson!
Adrian makes a good point.
I've had ' the text is littered with, mostly incorrect, Portuguese and Spanish phrases.' Well, fair comment maybe, but 'littered' was a bit strong.
And from Amazon: '...wordy', 'boring', 'one-dimensional characters.' And the final coup-de-grace, 'Don't buy this dog.'
Oh dear ;)
