This isn't a super big deal, but it did brighten my day!

I self-published a book a little less than a year ago. An old book of mine that I just didn't want to see trunked. Had it professionally edited, and had a professional cover done, and put it up!

It wasn't getting much of a response. Some lukewarm ratings on Goodreads here and there. I publish under a pen name, so I don't have any friends or family to read and sockpuppet for me, haha.

Anyway, in the last few days, I just got two reviews (MY FIRST) on Amazon---one 5 star, and one 4 star! With actual words about what they liked! I'm particularly honored because one was a review by my target age group! Yay.

And like I said, I don't have anybody in real life who knows I write, so they're actually genuine reviews!

This is just so exciting for me... :)

Hey, that's lovely news, and certainly worth sharing! You've been validated, which is no small thing at all. Congratulations.

Maryn, happy for you (in case you can't be happy entirely by yourself, perhaps)

Excellent! It's really good to get those reviews, and it's not a small thing. :)
