I get that way once a month...

I'd tell you that my moods aren't that regular anymore, but that'd be TMI. LOL

when I see the radio show's ratings!

Actually, I did get my "ratings" for some of the work I do, and they were MUCH higher than I expected, so you'd think I'd cheer up already. ;)

Of course, because good news never seems to arrive all by itself, I also have some guy who wrote me two VERY LENGTHY e-mails about what an idiot I am (telling me point-by-point what he thinks is wrong with one of my books). I'm working my way up to how to deal with those.

"two VERY LENGTHY e-mails"

I always print out those kind and use them to light the kindling in the fireplace .

Makes the idiot's e-mails worth something!

Here is how to deal with that guy... Ask him how many books he has had published.. Then you may wish to explain to him that in America we demand choice... there is something for everyone.. Hmmmf. (What a jerk!) :]

You could always counter every point with one phrase: Kiss my A@@! But, as good as that may feel, it probably won't solve the issue. On the other hand, the military has a great saying (I'm sure it crosses all branches), "There is no problem that a sufficient amount of firepower can't solve".

What's that old computer saying?

Abort, Retry, Ignore...

I think I'd go with 'I'.
