Deep Thoughts on Espejos Reviews and the Future

Well another release day has come and gone. Espejos is here, and I was really excited about it. I poured my heart and souls into it, and in the end I felt great about it because I felt like it connected me as a writer to my culture. But then the reviews started coming in.

I know a lot of people will say not to take too much stock in reviews, but they are a big part of what makes a sale. So while the reviews for Espejos haven’t been bad, they just weren’t what I thought they would be. Now don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t looking for thousands of five stars, but I did expect more from the lukewarm response that it got.

If this had been the first time it happened I might have just shrugged it off and continued to find ways to improve. But I’m thinking that after about eight tries and one lukewarm response after another, it’s time to rethink where I want to be as a writer.

Perhaps I’m just in the wrong genre. I really don’t know. One thing is for sure, I love writing and I will find a way to make this work.

Okay, pity party over. Now back to relaxing. Oh and happy Fourth!!!
