I took some of your advice, but I am back on track and deep into editing of the novel. Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629090565802750969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729033912835959024.post-71422202986513099402012-08-11T12:07:01.487-07:002012-08-11T12:07:01.487-07:00As a total newcomer to the world of Aimery Thomas,...As a total newcomer to the world of Aimery Thomas, I have to say I identify with your valiant attempts to get your treasured brainchild off the ground and the difficulty of acknowledging when enough is enough on a particular project. I'd love to read an extract of your novel, but I can't find the links you give at the bottom of the post. Are they expired?<br /><br />But I've been a few months, coming up to a year, venturing into the world of trying-to-get-published. When I found ebooks and got a few of my short stories up there on the web, I thought, Wow! I'm doing it! Then the sales hardly even twitched. I sold 4 or 5, enough to recoup the cost of a picture file I bought for a cover image, but it's stalled.<br /><br />I can see how it's a huge feat of endurance to reach success. So I'd like to encourage you to take a deep breath, go for a long walk or whatever, and re-focus. I've found that networking with other writers at a similar stage to me has helped. I take an honest look at what I'm really trying to achieve and how best to do it.<br /><br />Also, when I began despairing at how my little ebooks are getting deluged by millions of others and lost in the surf, I decided to aim at capturing a small slice of the global pie of readership: I have a YA sci-fi novel that's been almost-finished for a few months, and an adult SF novel underway.<br /><br />So I wish you every future success, and may your present difficulties be but grist to the mill of your creativity and inspiration!John Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205708516223409154noreply@blogger.com
