Hey Matt, this post is blank. I went directly to your blog, wondering if maybe the reader wasn’t showing it correctly, but it’s blank there too. Just a little FYI ☺️
I went through a bit of a bleak period once it was out. Don’t get me wrong I’m eternally grateful for anyone taking an interest but it’s lonely work and any interest in the work is validating.
Oh Matt! I completely know what you mean!! For my first book, I had, I’m not exaggerating, over 50 people swear they were going to buy the book. Of those 50, I think that four did. Horribly depressing to put so much love and effort into… empty space. Not even a single family member had read it or shown any interest. I’m bummed but… also very proud of myself. And you should be too.
But the thing is, your work is written. It is “out there” and fifty years from now… it will still be “out there”. You created something special.
I’m going to post the review on Facebook too. Maybe it will generate even one more sale!! ☺️
That’s my approach. It’s a long game. I’ve got the second book waiting, more material than I know what to do with. I can relate to your point. People get lauded for far less than what we’ve done and sometimes, just sometimes it sticks in my throat a little.

Getting people up leave reviews isn’t easy, I know… it’s frustrating that Amazon has made this world review-driven….

It’s the nature of the game. You cannot lose if you don’t play but the game is one I’ve been dreaming of and then did.

That is SO much more than a lot of people can say. Often people just dream…. you are living your dream and no one can take that away.

No and I’m not as relentless in promotion and marketing as I could be. I have an audience, you amongst them and that’s good. I don’t forget that
