A modest "epic win"
A new 5-star review for The Luck of Madonna 13 just appeared on Amazon this morning: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FBQ8XMU
This is certainly an occasion to demo the raised-arms "epic win" gesture I learned from my brother a few months back. He says that his software engineer colleagues use it when they get some tricky coding to work. Getting a new review may not be exactly like that, but I confess that it sure elicits a strong feeling of momentary exuberance. I posted a pic in a tweet a few minutes ago: https://twitter.com/etellison/status/....
I'm thinking that for an author in these times, the accretion of book reviews might be the obverse of the infamous "death of a thousand cuts." Maybe something like the "joy of a thousand smiles." Something like that.
