When Numbers Lie
I decided to try Amazon's free book promotion for In Her Wake. It's generated over 200 downloads in less than 2 days! This is great news. It's amazing. It's mind-blowing to say the least, and yet, these numbers don't tell me how many people will actually read a single word. Will they like the words and how I've arranged them? Will they read it and think "she has potential as a writer" or will they petition for the removal of my fingers so they never punish a keyboard with their nonsense again?
Interesting thoughts either way.
I'll never stop dreaming, creating characters, emotions, and worlds only I'll ever see in vibrant colors behind closed eyelids. My mind will continue to run rampant with its vivid imagination and I'll always let the many stories it creates play out until their ends. It's what prompted me to write in the first place, to share with people the living, breathing beings that take up residence in my head.
What do the numbers tell me? What will they tell me when those numbers become faces with mouths ready to unleash words into the faceless medium we all rely on to validate our work, our existence?
Today, they numbers were just numbers. Tomorrow may be a different story.
