Sales rival JK Rowling’s success. All my hard work. All those hours and hours, days and weeks of editing and re-editing… requited.
I check my emails. Hundreds, several from prominent publishers. The same publishers who rejected my efforts, many times over before I decided to self-publish. Which one will I forgive?
Is that my ringtone? Another eager publisher?
Alas, it’s my alarm telling me to hurry and get ready for my real job.
I check my stats. One sale. My first sale. Watch out JK!
