Turn the other cheek

Being a self published author is sometimes bloody hard work and you've certainly got to get used to criticism and disappointments. Receiving rejection letters from publishers is always a bit of a knock back and not hearing back at all is even worse. However getting messages and reviews from readers is amazing and makes you fight harder for your dreams. It's a bit like a fight in Dynasty: You get slapped in the face but you turn the other cheek and slap back even harder!
