HI @NiveusLepus! 👋
How's tricks? Have you been taking care of yourself while showing up so beautifully for others, too?
@MLClark I’m doing my best too, but sometimes I do feel a little weary. ^_^. How are you my dear and sacred friend?
"Weary" is an interesting phase of the heart, no? 🤗
When we come out of weariness, what a gift of gratitude we get from ensuing joy!
But the weariness has to be lived through first.
I'm looking forward to catching up on the rest of your writing later this week, and so heartened that you've found the time for creative practice amid so much else.
Just wanted you to know that you were in my thoughts today, and that I'm always hoping things are hopping along beautifully for you. 💛
@MLClark It is a great blessing to be thought of by you. In truth I can say much the same, every time I sit down to work, or check in on Coso.
You are a source of consistent joy in my life, and care. ^_^
I’ve got some doozy comments… One even had “I’m not a misogynist but…”
It’s fascinating!
@NiveusLepus @MLClark
OMG Bun are you kidding me???? 😂 😂 I am so sorry you had to endure that nonsense. Not worth a moment of your time.
@janallmac @MLClark One of the first people I ever showed any of my written work too said “Your writing doesn’t need an editor, it needs a priest.”
To date, I’ve written 23 novels, one was published traditionally, went independent, published six more and took best seller in my category.
Prayer changes things, I guess ^_^
I’m quite comfortable with the idea many will never give my work a chance, and not everyone will get it.
That’s not going to keep me from shining ^_^
@NiveusLepus @MLClark
Well, I suppose you can't please everyone, and personally, I don't try. But my goodness, the trouble some people take to be critics, and ridiculous, pointless critics at that, is really astounding! Like -- that took work and mental gymnastics. It's clear you have a lot of fans, too. I went and checked you out on Amazon just now and there are so many 5 star reviews!
I'm glad you kept on shining. 💜
@janallmac @MLClark If people take a chance on my work, they tend to stay. It’s one of the greatest quiet compliments for me, to see a sale for Dawnbreak come in, and then a week or two later, all my other novels get bought too.
Second Tier Sorcery on Royal Road(the story that got that comment) has had 30k views, is in the top third for ranking, and is doing better in the ratings than most of the stories in the top 10.
It puts things into a certain perspective for me.
@NiveusLepus
HECK! YES!
Well done, Rebecca. That is a testament to a lot of hard work along the way.
