So...in my previous post, I'm not sure if it was obvious, but I kinda - well, I really felt bad about the sales of Books 1 and 2 of my newest trilogy Pollyanna and the Greek Billionaire. Sooooo...when Book 3 came out, I just allowed myself to "cautiously" hope for the best.
And well...
And well...
Book 3's first day of sales was beyond what I expected. Of course I hoped, but I didn't allow myself to expect. And if you've seen me being emo on my IG and FB page / profile, I really do mean every word. I honestly thought it was the end of the line for me.
Just imagine - almost two months of writing and not liking anything you write. I was TERRIFIED that it would be like this forever and it means I've run out of things to write. But then I decided to take a risk, shelving the old WIP and working on another WIP and that was it.

The reason I'm sharing this with you, of course, is to let you know that IF YOU'RE DOUBTING YOURSELF LIKE I DID, it's okay. Just keep writing what YOU love and (force yourself to) FORGET what other people think or will think about your work.
Just write.
And it will work out, sooner or later.
It happened to me.
There's no reason why it shouldn't happen to you, and that's REGARDLESS of where you feel you are with your writing career. :)
Hope this post helps!
