How To Cope With Bad Reviews As An Author

How do you cope with bad reviews?

Coping with bad reviews is part of the process, and I think there are reviews that take issue with what you've done in an intelligent, intellectual way which is fair game but there are other reviews which are just badly written and that's an unpleasant experience usually and slightly annoying. But it is hard, it's nice to get a good review. I tend to get the reviews sent to me by my publisher maybe 24 hours after they've come out. I do not look at the newspapers for about 3 weeks when the book is out.
