Today marks three years since the launch of my self published debut novel, and the beginning of my writing career.
I take a moment to pause and express my gratitude for the support of my readers and supporters throughout these early stages of my journey as an author. It is with great joy that I celebrate the small wins that have illuminated my path, and I acknowledge the invaluable role each of you has played in making them possible.
In this rollercoaster ride of creativity and self-expression, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of grand achievements and monumental milestones. It's key to remember that true success is not measured solely by towering accomplishments but also by the smaller victories that pepper our path.
I want to celebrate those big, small moments—a heartfelt message from a reader moved by my words, a kind review that warmed my soul, the DM from a friend that's eager to read my next book, the newsletter sign up, the social media interaction, the 48-hour Amazon #1 best seller, or the quiet satisfaction of completing a challenging chapter. These may be the small wins, but they are the ones that infuse me with purpose and remind me why I embarked on this writing journey in the first place.
None of this would be possible without your support. Your willingness to give independent literature a chance and embrace new voices and unconventional narratives has been a testament to your open-mindedness.
So, as I raise a metaphorical glass to toast these small wins, I raise it in honor of each and every one of you. Thank you for being the driving force behind my creativity.
