Ideas, stalling, pouring and receiving
Well it has been an interesting week all the same but nothing much in the way of writing has been done. I have tried to work through more of the story but tiredness from work has really taken its toll this week and resulted in a stalled process so I did what I could and left it when the going became counter productive.
I have also received a somewhat negative review but reading through their comments and have taken it constructively. Yes indeed I am fully aware that my story may not be for everyone and I indeed class myself as no literary graduate so my grasp of English as a structured written language is normal at best. But that said I can still live in the knowledge that people are still reading Footprints and sales still continue which again offers encouragement to me.
It is nice to see different points of view and fully accept and appreciate that people will have different points of view and some will like what I have to offer and others will not. It’s nice to know though that people are still reading and in doing so no matter what they have spent the time entering my creative world from start to finish.
On the other side of the coin I have had an absolute nightmare this week trying to upload the latest edits so the versions for sale represent the changes I want to offer the best story I am personally able to put out there. I am fully aware I haven’t the skills of a professional editor and still live in hope that one day a major publishing house will one day see my potential and held put the perfecting touches to my work. Until then I have put every effort to make it the very best I can as I appreciate that a poorly finished product does nothing to reflect well on me as the author and seems disrespectful to the readers.
So really it’s a little of a justifying post but also an appreciation at people taking the time to offer me feedback and also for them having invested their time reading what I have to offer.
The journey will indeed continue and I am indeed going to carry on. In the end there’s so much more with the story I wish to tell and Jack’s journey has further to go yet!
