V – Veritas in eBook (or a writer’s despair)

I’m always extremely excited when a reader takes the time to write a review for one of my books. However, they don’t always turn out the way I want them. Although I know that I will never be able to please every single reader out there, I always despair when someone doesn’t like what I wrote. I’ve often wondered why. The answer is probably more complicated but I think, it’s because I care so deeply for the characters I write that I want people to like them.

The truth is that no one knows them the way I know them. No one cares for them as much as I do. So if a reviewer rejects my characters, it feels as if (s)he rejects some part of me. I know that’s not true. Most of my readers don’t even know me. Still, the feeling persists.

Of course, I’m getting much better at handling this disappointment. I just start writing a new book. Apropos book, I’ll be releasing something new soon, just in case you’re interested. If you haven’t already, sign up for my list so I can keep you posted.
