Chocolate. Vanilla. Strawberry

Could you be the pistachio nut?

This post is not about ice cream. It’s a story about critics.

A fellow author and I were talking about our published books recently. She said:

1. 1/3 might love our book.
2. 1/3 will hate it.
3. 1/3 will be indifferent.

This equation could be used for so many other aspects of life, eh?

When you go out for ice cream with your family for instance not everyone orders the same thing.

• Some prefer chocolate, hate strawberry and despise vanilla.
• Others love vanilla and strawberry but dislike chocolate.
• Some love vanilla but don’t like chocolate or strawberry.
• Others only eat chocolate.(My friend Kathy!)
• Others (maybe not many) prefer — PISTACHIO NUT!

It doesn’t mean any flavor is better than another.

Hey, everything is a matter of personal taste.

I admit I might be the pistachio nut. I can be a bit of a nutty writer(?) so, yeah, I might be an acquired…
