No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts. Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review
I've read them all❤️ Happy Valentines Day my friend❤️

ReplyDeleteHi, Sue! Sure...just give me a few weeks to catch up. I still can't use my shoulder, so typing is a task.

Awesome! I hope you're up and about soon, Carm! 😀 Just shoot me an e-mail when you're ready for the Q&A. I've done so many since I first interviewed you 2 years ago. Kind of have a knack for it now!!!
DeleteIn the meantime, I'll be shovelling myself out of the house today. Another winter storm warning has already arrived with below zero temperatures!!!!
Wow!!! It's been two years! Time certainly does fly by. I'll be doing that soon... We'll be in Pittsburg next year at this time. :P
