What was the best compliment you’ve received?
Complements weren’t a regular thing in our family growing up. You really had to earn a compliment. It may be the reason I don’t handle them all that well.
I have a story coming out next week and it was a story I have a particular fondness for.
I wrote the story to take place in the future. It took that long to get accepted for publication that the future was now the past. I had to change that. The story is so different for me. Most of the story takes place on a picnic bench near where my daughter lives. It also takes place during wildfire season.
When the publisher contacted me to publish the story, she said the entire staff said the story stuck with them for a long time. That they had to print it as it was that powerful.
That compliment has been a real motivator to keep me writing. There are a lot of rejections in the publishing industry. A little compliment, such as this goes a long way.
