My first reviews were not encouraging. I was so sad when I read my first 5 reviews after a giveaway. I almost cried and stopped writing for a while. Unfortunately, you’re not always going to get it right the first time. These reviews were from total strangers that didn’t hold back their dislikes, comments, and suggestions. Note: They were not rude. It was just not the feedback I expected after putting my work out there. It took me a while to shake it off and continue writing. So if you just wrote a short story, novel, etc… and people don’t instantly love it? Don’t worry, just learn, adapt and don’t give up. Most if not all best-selling authors have gone through it. They didn’t give up and neither should you. Especially if there’s a story you wish to share.
