Rant: I Am Not A Frustrated Author

So an author, Joanne Harris, tweeted her unhappiness with a blog review (she deleted many of her tweets so some of what you see may not make sense) of a YA book she wrote. Naturally, that attracted a lot of attention. Some people defended Harris's reaction and some argued against it. One person, Anne Hodgson, defended Harris with a tweet that had me seeing red. Now, there are much worse tweets floating around out there on any number of subjects but this one pissed me off. It's a very sweeping generalization, reflects an ignorance of book bloggers (in my opinion anyway), and is very arrogant. Ms. Hodgson states in her twitter bio "Writing itch unrelieved by dodgy blog" so perhaps she was really referring to herself and generalized to all bloggers. I don't know her so I can't say for sure. Her own blog appears to be a non-book blog but one that talks about her life.
