maintain a positive outlook

This was nearly yet another rant on something or other, but I caught myself. I'm just feeling snarky today.  I'll have to shake it before we kick off the writing group this week.  It's best to review the good points first, then follow up with criticism second.  It's more encouraging.  I find it extremely discouraging when the first thing out of someone's mouth was what they didn't like.  No matter how many positive comments come after, it's like they're saying, "It sucked overall, but these parts didn't suck quite as much."

I just got the Sandman series (Neil Gaiman) back from Max yesterday.  He absolutely loved them, and with good reason.  It's always fun to introduce someone to something you love and see that they enjoyed it just as much as you did.
