Do You Like Idealism?
I’ve been corresponding with another author who agreed to read my novel and give me some feedback. on the weekend Yoka wrote that although she thinks I have great writing and storytelling skills, she felt that the events in my novel were just too unrealistic.
Unrealistic? I thought they were idealistic. Quite obviously, there are not many people who live the kind of lifestyle which I gave to Ruthe the heroine of that book, but I gave those experiences to her because that’s where my idealistic passion is. I would love to see souls saved and transformed like that. And so frequently!
There is that enemy who comes whispering soothingly, “See, you could drop your book-writing out of your life, and not have to deal with negative comments like that”
There is another whisper in my thoughts that says, “Look, now you know that you should warn people, that your book is very idealistic. It will appeal best to those who are idealistic and love to see lives transformed and changed from bad to good.”
This is constructive criticism. It allows me to know how to plan my promotion of the book better. And perhaps how to make some subtle changes when I do my abridged re-write. If-whenever!
But I sure wish I had a completely updated list of those who have really “read” my book, Ruthe’s Secret Roses, and I could do a survey of their opinions. Did you appreciate the idealism in it? Or was that offensive or objectionable to you?
