I can understand your discouragem...Hey Miz Harlie,<br /><br />I can understand your discouragement. But don't let it stop you. Debuts are difficult! You never know which way it's going to go. Hell, for that matter, you never know which way any book release is going to go. But I have heard more is the key. Does that help the feeling of a debut that hasn't gone as well as one hoped? Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to keep trying. <br /><br />Reviewers are going to be reviewers. They pick and chose how they want and it may not make sense to us, but it is what it is. Don't let them get you down. <br /><br />My thoughts? Keep writing. Aim for publication. I've read snippits of your work, and the fact that you play around with multiple genres catches my attention. There's going to be that one book that readers will connect with, devour and sky rocket. Aim for that. Don't lose your love for writing if that's what your dream is.

My debut ...You both are very lucky and I envy you. My debut story come and went in December and I have one review. Since my story is short, reviewers have told me that they will NOT review it because of its length. Really? Its only 5 page shorter than a 1Night Stand. <br /><br />To say that I'm discouraged is an understatement. I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point but to keep writing. Not sure if I will ever publish again. <br /><br />I've been told, oh no one reads your debut; build up your back list. Okay, I'm no Roni Loren (LOVE HER) but if no one is reading my debut, then what's the motivation to keep writing? What's a backlist if no one is reading your books?<br /><br />I'm just disappointed and frustrated right now. And people said that they would read and review it have vanished. Grrr...<br /><br />HarlieHarlie Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866226921079232570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275093834818398021.post-62649925520968494172013-02-02T15:12:28.861-06:002013-02-02T15:12:28.861-06:00Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in...Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone in this feeling.

I've received wonderful reviews on my debut novel and I'm hoping my current Work in Progress meets and exceeds reader's expectations when it's published.<br /> Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721556815192785649noreply@blogger.com
