My first 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?

I have gotten a one star also, on a book that has been critically praised. One stars have nothing to do with reviewing. It's vandalism. This site gives me the creeps.

Oh, I'm not worried about it. I was mainly joking because I've been wondering when it would finally happen. I'm glad it finally did. Now I can stop wondering. LOL!
One star on GR just means someone didn't like it, but went ahead and "slogged through it" anyway, and then honestly said, OK, well, they didn't like it. LOL. Too bad they don't say what they didn't like about it, which I suspect would have been marginally useful information. But what the heck... Please pass the cake.
Exactly, Richard. The funny thing is if I disliked a book that much I wouldn't slog through it. But, meh, whatever. Here's some cake. You prefer chocolate or vanilla?

Ah, but are you a French vanilla sort of guy?
Heh heh, Vanilla Bean, with little speckles!
