If I win, I'll pass it on to a friend and get you a new reader!<br /><br />You hit home with me, girl...your story is mine!! Two book deal with Berkley and I thought my path was lined with gold. :-) But 1st book didn't do so great...all 5 star reviews but as you know, it's hard to get known when noone knows you. I'm trying to set everything up for book two to do better when it comes out in 3 months, but no guarantees. And I'm working diligently on a third book that my editor loves so far and "wants" to buy, but with my numbers being low, is still hesitant.<br /><br />It's hard not to measure things that way. Especially when friends you started with are succeeding and you want to cry "What am I not doing right?"<br /><br />But you are correct. My agent tells me weekly, that it will be a slow build but it will build. Just keep writing great books. And I do, because I love it. I write the stories I love with all my heart.<br /><br />And every morning I get up and go to that detested day job. LOL. One day, you and I will both be on those lists, because we are writing for the right reasons.Sharla Lovelacehttp://www.sharlalovelace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-37567173243925742672012-08-06T13:05:29.128-04:002012-08-06T13:05:29.128-04:00Aw, thanks, Marilyn!Aw, thanks, Marilyn!Maria Geracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296473703226019932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-8880516230495712802012-08-06T13:05:10.866-04:002012-08-06T13:05:10.866-04:00Thanks, Ariella :)Thanks, Ariella :)Maria Geracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296473703226019932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-25302494051791365072012-08-06T11:37:56.300-04:002012-08-06T11:37:56.300-04:00Maria,

I know all about the rollercoaster of sales figures, etc., and love that you're focusing only on what you can control -- writing *another* wonderful novel.

In the end, what matters most is that we are true to what made us write in the first place, the desire to give ourselves up to a dream world ... and all the worries about externals are just distractions.
