Any time you write something and you put it out there for the world to see, it is a little scary. At least for me it has been pretty scary. But, one of the main requirements of self-publishing is forwarding the notice to your friends and family. "Hi! I wrote something. Please read it and forward your thoughts. Especially if you see a typo or two!"
Thus, when I received the following email from a close friend (who has critiqued my work in the past), I was elated. It was so thoughtful of him to send a little hip-hip-hooray my way :)

I started reading it last night and I'm in Chapter 5. I love the writing style! Everything just flows so naturally, so conversationally. And the humor is a great touch too! I never thought a book about marriage could be fun to read. Honestly, I'm learning a lot about marriage law that I had never really thought of. And...I haven't seen a single typo yet. I have to say, I'm impressed. Not bc I didn't think you were a good writer, but bc writing a full book is so damn hard. I know I wouldn't try to do it.
You are good. Keep writing.

I feel all warm and fuzzy now. Plus, I needed the confidence boost to start the next book. Happy days!!
