One
thing you can do if you want to support writers is review their work.
Some of you are intimidated by it, but we realize that you aren't
professional writers. We don't need masterworks of literary criticism
on Amazon and Goodreads, or even Facebook and Twitter. We need help
spreading the word.
My
advice is to go minimalist.
And
minimalist may sound highfaluting, but it's just a way of saying keep
it short and simple. And it doesn't have to be long. One liners are
okay!
My
novel Smoking Mirror Blues got a five-star (see, you don't even have to use words)
masterpiece of this genre.
D.S. White simply quoted from the book:
She
was supposed to be some kind of neomythical recombocultural chimera.
Real sumato, as all the recombozos and recombozoettes say.
Then
added:
"Classic
Hogan has returned!"
Yes,
it can be that easy. And fun, too.
Bad
reviews, often done by malicious folks who want to drag down your
ratings are often minimalist. My books have gotten “Save your
money,” and “Terrible.” But they can be countered by more
minimalist positive reviews.
Get
creative. Use emojis if you want.
So,
review away!
Right
now I could use some for the new edition of Smoking Mirror Blues
and my wife's Medusa Uploaded
is just out.
It's
a way to make writers happy.
