I haven't really paid attention to the "success" of my work so far above and beyond the fact that I'm getting a nice paycheck every month that is allowing Evy and I to live out our dreams.
Couple of days back I was on Twitter, and I happened to be scanning Tweets from some of my followers when I noticed that someone said they were reading one of my articles over at so-and-so's website. I was intrigued, so I followed the link.
I was surprised to find a 2 page topic that included a link to my original article and a series of responses in regards to said article that were all extremely positive, discussing the positive aspects of the piece.
Now, I'm not one to let success go to my head, but I have to admit it was sort of a rush, and definitely an ego boost. I called Evy right away and told her.
I'm debating today whether or not I should go back to that website and create an account just to post and say thanks for the appreciation.
I must be doing something write (ok ok silly play on words!) to be achieving both financial and critical success in terms of appreciation by readers. I honestly can't wait to get my book done and see how it fares in comparison to my non-fiction work, which is really starting to become more than just a paycheck. This is awesome!
