I was once young and foolish
Aug. 27th, 2020 03:30 pmMaybe I still am sometimes.
But you know how you sometimes come up with an idea and think that it's good? I had an idea for a story and sent it to a small publisher when I was still a student in the university. They liked it enough to publish it. It was a surprise for me since I didn't really think about the plot deeply.
I honestly don't know how to feel about that novel. Sometimes I am embarrassed because I can think of those things which might not be as sensible as people would expect.
But here we are, the publisher is telling me that there might be a new batch to be reprinted. They said that the novel got popular among university students when some bloggers posted about it. I don't want to look at the reviews... It is sometimes scary to read when people think badly of your work. It's from so long ago so that makes it even harder for me to process my feelings.
The curiosity is strong but I am also in the middle of writing so I probably shouldn't give in to the urge to read online reviews.
More sales is good, right?
