Jacqueline Patricks's Blog - Posts Tagged "1-star"

I finally got my first 1 star rating. Woke up to it this morning. Finally! It's been a year since I became an Indie author, and I've been wondering when--When!?--would my first 1 star arrive. Who would it be??? God, what a relief. I can stop wondering. Or caring. I mean, who gives a shit, right? But the seal has been broken, and well... meh. I got to met Jacqueline Carey while being on an author panel with her in May. My book has gotten its first review making it eligible for Awesome Indies--just need two more. I've hit the top 100 in two sub genres three times this summer without being in Kindle Select, without giving my work away for free to thousands, without the help of Bookbub... mainly just me hitting the bricks every week, making new friends and constantly striving to improve my writing.

So... that's it.

That's the big deal.

My first 1 star rating.

Anybody want some cake?
