That's great news! Congratulations! Good for you for taking the chance to put your talent out for others to enjoy! claps
I wish I had the courage to follow my dream but I'm too shy and have turned down a novel offer as well as the publication of one of my short stories. I draw too much of myself into my writing and the idea of it being "out there" for all to read/see makes me feel way too vulnerable and exposed.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
