Thanks for the complimnents, that is kind .. and I am so in awe of how prolific you are.<br />Sales mean everything to me because it means I am reaching readers and that is all I have ever wanted. <br />Yes, in my view, you are only as good as your next book and that is incredibly scary.... xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373913154885732039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359488738647542307.post-74815392620145576312015-11-16T17:01:12.369+00:002015-11-16T17:01:12.369+00:00I really admire your stance on promotion, Sam - ho...I really admire your stance on promotion, Sam - how refreshing! I don't think you'll ever have to worry about not selling - if that's your goal, you've totally achieved it and are wise enough to take advice on the market from those who know. :)<br /><br />My biggest fear is someone thinking I can't write, or that I've reached my zenith and are going downhill ~ which is why the pre-publication worry gets worse every time. I'll never sell a tenth of the amount you do, and I won't pretend I wouldn't love to (!!), but it's not my main goal, which is the feedback that I'm good at what I do. I've had bad reviews that have said things like 'it was well written but..' then a complaint about whatever aspect was not for them ~ they don't worry me. I just dread one day getting one that says what I do is crap, ha ha!!! :)Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.com
