It's about building the credit.<br /><br />I'm extra cautious about reading another if the author is not good in my book.

I'm a very slow reader, and oftentimes being disappointed by an author is difficult for my time an sanity. I try and take away something useful, though, like learning what didn't work and not make that same mistake in my own writing.Michelle D.

It would seem that some people are more forgiving than others, overlooking a mistep of a beloved author.
