Re: OBC Review Editing
My score went up with the bonus points--Thank you Scott!--then down because of an author dispute--yikes--then back up with different bonus points--then back down because I forgot to confirm that I'd downloaded my book and I got a warning notice--my bad!
I think I'm going to start following the leads of the Members of the Month (congrats Bookowlie!) and just focus on doing great reviews and not focus so much on each individual score. I also always appreciate constructive criticism because part of the point of writing is to get better!

It sounds like some of the yo-yo effect from your score was from an author dispute (frustrating!) and a warning over the download. I don't know the details of the author's dispute so I can't speak about that in a detailed way. However, one way to look at it is sometimes you can use the experience to write future ending blurbs in a different way. Anyway, it sounds like you are on the right track!

As Tina Turner would say, "What's love got to do with it?" At a certain level, the editors automatically get full points for editorial analysis of their reviews. I would imagine that's why the editor comments are not showing up. Sorry to burst anyone's love balloon.PashaRu wrote:I don't see comments either. Never have. Not once. I guess Scott loves me too.
