I consider myself an entertainer, and I write partially out of the hope of bringing a brief moment of happiness into someone’s life.  If I can put a smile on someone’s face, then I consider that a win.  Unfortunately, since the overwhelming majority of what I do is online, and I’m just getting started, feedback can be hard to come by and so I never get to see those chuckles, smiles, or groans (at the puns, I hope).  I suppose it’s one of the downsides of publishing in the digital world, though I am working on attending more conventions so I can “press the flesh,” as it were.

Thus, when feedback does come along, I feel good because it means someone is reading, even if they didn’t like what they read.  If I get positive feedback, then I have a ‘YOU LIKE ME YOU REALLY LIKE ME’ moment.  While I do know that people are buying my work based on sales reports, actually hearing from readers always give me the warm fuzzies.

Writing makes me feel good, which makes others feel good,  who tell me, which makes me feel gooder and want to write more!   Its a happy cycle! 😀
