That so seriously blew me away. It's like she expects every reader to love her work and, sorry, that one just isn;t going to happen. You can not please every reader, it's impossible. So, knowing that some will love it some will hate it, and some won;t bother, you just gotta let things go. Heck, I've just done short stories and learned that one in the first couple of dozen rejections. She's been around A LOT longer than I have, has got to have received worse than I've ever gotten, so she's got to know all this.
But, then, she's been very public about how she feels about how people treat her work. Well, sorta. The whole Tom Cruise thing must have taught her something because she didn't say a word about Queen of the Damned and that movie adaptation definitely destroyed the book.

But this is still mind boggling.
