Things I Love to Hear My Readers Say


I love more than anything when a reader comes up to me and tells me I was an inspiration. Not because I feel like some god among mortals, but because of the sentence that usually follows. 

These readers that say that to me are aspiring writers, and when they come up to me and say you’re an inspiration it’s because now they are going to do their best to become a published author too.

That, to me, is the most incredible feeling in the world. I know how hard it is to put something so personal on a piece of paper and show it to others. I know the feeling of being insecure and the fear of rejection becoming a label you can’t scrub away. 

I once read a quote saying; “Fear kills more dreams than failure ever could.” 

I haven’t tried to hide the fact I am a horrible speller, since childhood I’ve struggled and it made me feel stupid. Now I can sit at a signing booth and sign my name to books I’ve written, spelling errors and stupid grammar mistakes included, because I tried to achieve something I’ve always wanted.  Step by step, I’m hitting every milestone I want to hit and it is hard work but totally worth it.

When I hear others are also taking the plunge and they say I helped them reach it, it’s sits with me forever.
