A new beginning

I have waited a bit before writing again, and that was for a good reason. Just yesterday I received my author copy of my novel.

I have to be honest, it made me a bit proud of myself, but what mostly thrilled me, was today a great feedback I received from one of my first readers. As a first time writer, I do not have an audience waiting for my next novel, so I have to build my reputation; well let me tell you something, it is not easy.

I knew someone bought one kindle copy of my novel, and I wasn’t really expecting anything positive. You know, it was like I didn't want to believe too much on my work, so that I wouldn't be too disappointed if someone found it "not good enough."

I kept telling myself that this is how it goes and that I should not get discouraged by the fact that my book is not selling immediately. I knew from the beginning that with so many great writers in the business, I was not going to have an easy start.

However, today my very first reader sent me an extremely flattering feedback.

Nothing compares to the feeling of hearing someone say “Bravo!” I think this is one of the most powerful words. It means that the story you were writing with your heart, was able to touch other people's hearts with the same intensity. I really hope that my book can entertain other people like it entertained this first one.
