So I should be writing right now, and I will go back to it, but I have been trying to figure out where and how to say what has been bothering me lately. I figured this was a good place to do it.

I am an indie author and I love it! I never thought when I was younger that I would ever write a book. I love knowing people love my book and are looking forward to the sequel. My book hasn't quite made it to the masses and that is okay. The people that have read it have told me how great they think it is. I am GRATEFUL. I do giveaways every month on my facebook page to encourage people to like my page and get to know me. It wasn't until I published my book that I realized how important reviews are to authors. Especially indie authors. I myself have never been that great at leaving reviews other than the stars here on goodreads, but I want to change that. I had a really big giveaway on facebook and in order to enter you had to leave a review somewhere. I didn't care where and I didn't care how long it was. I just wanted some of the people who had read it to share with others how much they loved it. I had one person leave a review. One. Don't get me wrong. I am thankful for that review and reviewer, but one? I was disappointed. I made sure to have really awesome things to give and my expectations were that I would have at least a handful of reviews. One. I have had several people tell me that they love Elemental Fate and that makes me really happy! But as an indie author, an author just starting out, I need the reviews.

I was disappointed. I still am, but all I can do is continue to ask those that read it and love it to share. I don't care if all you give me are stars here on goodreads! People see that and that is what might make them decide to pick it up and give it a try.

I am grateful for those people that have told me they have enjoyed my story and characters. Truly.

Leave reviews. Every author likes to see them.
