Perspective

SUFFER THE CHILDREN is available on the Kindle on Amazon's site in both the UK and the US. As such, it has a 'Kindle listing' rating its popularity.

It's currently listed number 15,244 on the UK site. This seemed like a rather depressing number to me, and I was grumbling about it to a work colleague recently. "At least it's got a rating," she said. "You've had a book published and it's listed on Amazon – not everyone can say that."

She's right, of course. I have a tendency to be a 'glass half-empty' sort of person sometimes. So thank you, Anna, for pointing out my skewed perspective. My book is published. It has an Amazon listing. This is no reason to complain – this should be a "yay!" sort of moment.

And it reminds me that I'm a published author. That awesome fact has not yet worn thin, and it deserves more than a "yay". Perspective restored. Off I go for a little happy dance….
