It's such a frustrating, difficult place to be - having a good book out there and nobody to read it. Being "discovered" by readers is a difficult process. I'm finding that the more books I put out, the more that discoverability grows. I hope you don't give up! (Especially since "another Harry Potter" sounds fabulous.) I've found that ignoring the sales stats AND the reviews is one of the best things I can do to restore my drive to create.Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-51465616507791726272015-01-08T01:05:33.195-08:002015-01-08T01:05:33.195-08:00I am a sinner because I envy you all so desperatel...I am a sinner because I envy you all so desperately. I sell about one book a YEAR. Maybe one or two every quarter. Muse Harbor Press (the publishers of APRIL, MAYBE JUNE, who had such hopes that it would be another Harry Potter, except instead of flying across the Pond, mine drowned) told me that I did not sell ONE book in the third quarter of 2014. I would be even more suicidal than I am if I followed the sales numbers. I can pretty much conjecture the sales numbers when I get those Amazon deposits of a couple of dollars every quarter or so. (sigh) I don't believe it's because my books are bad, either, but perhaps I am just another dumb unwashed idiot. Must be nice to be one of the popular kids.Shalannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978745207805622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-28656111412561295872015-01-07T10:56:33.077-08:002015-01-07T10:56:33.077-08:00You're preaching to the choir, here.
