An Apology to Katiebabs

Apparently the sun was in my ears.  Or I was reading sideways. That’s what I’ve come to see over the last twenty-four hours, anyway.  Yesterday I reported that the review I got from Katiebabs for Beth’s Acceptance was negative.

Now that Saul has shook me by the scruff of the neck and a couple other readers and friends have spoken to me, I’ve actually sat down and read the review word for word, at face value.  Fact is, it’s a good solid review, and I can’t explain why I felt it was negative, the first time I read it.  There’s no evidence to back up that feeling at all.

So I owe Katiebabs a huge, huge apology for a) misinterpreting her and b) making it public.  I should know better.  My big friggin’ mouth.  <sigh>

The Internet…the only place where your mistakes live on forever and the whole world gets to see ‘em.  Joy.
