So I shared something very personal yesterday (a pic of my weight loss) and honestly I was scared to death when I posted it. This is my author page, and I try to keep it strictly work related, but a lot of you have become like family to me. Ive made friends that I will keep forever because of my books and to me those people are worth more than any check or title. So anyway, I write books, some extremely personal, but yesterday I posted a lifelong struggle for thousands to see. I was afraid of backlash... scared that there would be some smartass who would say something terrible and hurt my feelings and throw me into a downward spiral. All I have to say now is SHAME ON ME for thinking that! Ive shared teasers... book stuff constantly, and NEVER have I gotten a response the way I did yesterday. Its a sign of how wonderful our community is. No one said a bad thing. Instead, I got uplifting comments and praise. There are people Ive never met who are proud of me and are pushing me to continue. There are over 400 likes that say to me that you guys have my back. Instead of going through and liking every comment, which I try to do, and commenting back, I thought Id post this and say a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. The next time theres drama or craziness in our bookish community remember this post. Because while there may be some negative, there are still positive moments like this one. And while you guys dont realize it, your comments and likes mean more to me than anything and I appreciate it. Sending you all LOVE and HUGS.
