We all want to be the one that writes a story that is loved by millions. Especially as a new author we want that validation that we came up with a great story and our work is quality. But the truth is, your story is not for everyone. There are some people who don't like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or the Chronicles of Narnia. Hard to imagine I know, but it's a reality that we often don't think of. I recieved my first 1 star today, there was no comments just a lonely star to grace my reviews. I sat there looking at it and suddenly I realized I didn't care. I am all for criticism when valid, and if this person had that, maybe I would give it more credit. But there are simply those who hate seeing success, there are those whom my story is not for, and their 1 star does not change anything. If you happen to get that 1 star rating don't let it condemn you as a writer. If there is valid criticism behind the rating then by all means examine your work and get better. For everything else, ignore it. Keep on writing, make it your mission to flood your reviews with 4 and 5 stars with your next book. That 1 star doesn't define you as a writer nor as a person. In fact I will go so far to say that you now have some success, because all successful people have nay-sayers.
