However, it chafes me to think that I can no longer express my opinions because I'm trying to join the Published Writers Club. OTOH, I prefer to be kind to people, and I have to remember that behind every book is a person who poured sweat and blood and toil into it. *nod* I’m trying to be cautious, too.

I try to find at least one good thing about each book I read, even if I didn't enjoy it, and I always make a distinction between the writer and his/her book, but I'm wondering if I should stop reviewing and simply just add the books to my What I'm Reading blog without a commentary unless I have something glowing to write. I'm still not sure, but I'd definitely prefer to err on the side of caution. As an aiming-to-be-published-one-day writer, I have the same worries.
