Dark Confession

I get nervous when I know a book lover is reading Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman. People who read on a regular basis are not usually impressed with my story. They see the value in my message, but are put off by the lack of detailed descriptions and creative characters.

To quote my favourite review of my book;

"Sadai's novel is not one of YA contemporary romance or fantasy flowered with magical powers, alternative worlds, and perfect endings. It is an awe-inspiring, breath-taking introduction to what most adults spend their lives running away from; and that thing is what we like to call reality."

I want book lovers to be impressed with my writing style, but I've accepted that it won't always be the case. My story was written for those who are struggling, lost, or trapped in tragic situations. It is meant to inspire hope, healing, and recovery. I kept it simple to ensure its intent was understood.

Maybe I should have put more effort into the storytelling instead of focusing solely on the purpose of the story itself? It's too late now to change it. Fingers crossed that my lack of creativity doesn't land me a poor review.

Liz I'm a book lover and I loved your book! I liked the way you wrote your story. It felt like you were talking to me. That's why I connected with it so much. Have you received a lot of bad reviews?

Jenn Sadai Thank you so much Liz. Your support has been incredible. I've been pretty fortunate with reviews so far. I've only received a few reviews that weren't 4 or 5 stars. The one I was worried about yesterday turned out better than I ever imagined!
