As we talked I envisioned American Idol for some reason. There we see those who have talent really stand out and others that are good but don't have that star factor.

But like every session it changes.Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18087615157420716868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-46607194643172579092009-02-12T14:36:00.000-07:002009-02-12T14:36:00.000-07:00You have no idea how your post has lifted my spiri...You have no idea how your post has lifted my spirits. I follow a few blogs by agents and find myself depressed after reading their posts.<BR/><BR/>I really want to become a published author out there. I want everyone to adore my work. I know that is dreaming big, but it's nice to be reminded that there will be people out there who will like my work and they are the ones who matter!hi, it's me! melissa chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280379007196906037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-23315458851993031562009-02-12T09:01:00.000-07:002009-02-12T09:01:00.000-07:00It is fascinating how different people can have wi...It is fascinating how different people can have wildly different opinions about the same book. I've seen glowing reviews for books I thought were mediocre, and a one-star rating for a book I thought was fantastic. <BR/><BR/>Good thing there are lots of different kinds of books.Stephanie Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848784501386694887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-16675150246000056542009-02-11T15:17:00.000-07:002009-02-11T15:17:00.000-07:00I couldn't get through the first chapter of Angela...I couldn't get through the first chapter of Angela's Ashes, or The Grapes of Wrath although I loved East of Eden.<BR/><BR/>Good thing too that there's so many different tastes.Anna Maria Junushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589846694967185982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-15733978797217823782009-02-11T14:31:00.000-07:002009-02-11T14:31:00.000-07:00The joy of judging another's work.

But I wasn't all that thrilled by a lot of the greats.
