I'm Being Trolled!!

I never imagined that I would have to deal with trolling when I began the journey of writing and then publishing my book. It is not something one usually envisions when you fantasise about how successful your book will be.

And why, because I refuse to pay for reviews?

Is it wrong to have principles?

Or are my principles unreasonable?

I cannot AND will not allow such people to diminish my confidence... and I refuse to succumb to their threats. I will NOT pay for reviews.

Other than being a writer, I am actually a lawyer ( also qualified to practice). I know my rights and how to protect them.

Will I crawl into a shell and wallow in self-pity because this is happening to me? No, that's not the kind of person I am.

I WILL persevere.

Hi,
Just read the original thread and was going to message you and say ignore the clown/clowns. But seems you have already worked out they are trolls.
Bottom line, if you have to Troll it is because you yourself are empty and only find joy in attacking others. You on the other hand have written a book! so in the game of life, you are well ahead.

Thank you so much for your message Douglas, it made me feel a hundred times better! I'm so grateful for people like you that can undo the damage by the said 'clowns'.

Occasionally on this site, it happens, but we all try to be better than that. For every 1 Troll on here, there are thousands of people who are supportive.
Just don't let them bother you.

You're certainly an example of that and I truly appreciate your support. Thank you.
