Today marked the first person to "like" Corruption's facebook fanpage that I did not personally know. That may seem a silly thing for some, but it's encouraging that somehow Corruption is reaching past the simple bounds of my life.
Haven't seen the fan page yet? Check it out! There's not much yet, but as most other things in my life, it is a giant work in progress.
Speaking of progress, I haven't gotten much written lately. Life has been complicated, and in my spare time I've been less than inspired, and taken to being a bum. (Read, playing Medieval Sims and watching Hoarders on Netflix.) I've been kind of disheartened about my writing future lately, mostly thanks to the wonders of the internet. It's easy to find the success stories of other authors, even after thirty rejections or more.
Well, Corruption had over thirty rejections, and finally I gave up and went to self-publishing out of frustration, and the want to get my book out for the public. It's not even the lack of funds from the book that's discouraging, but rather the lack of readers. I want Corruption to be available for everyone. I want to see it on a bookstore shelf, but the marketing required is often past the funds I have available.
So, what I can ask of you is simple. If you enjoy Corruption, share it! I have to imagine that is how my unknown fan found me. Someone shared it, who shared it, who shared it, and eventually it ended up with him enjoying it enough to become a fan.
Or, I'm being sappy and he's a spam bot. But, hey, it's Friday, I'm at home with a drink, my family, and my dogs. I'm feeling optimistic.
Until next time, dear readers.
