Today I went to a friend’s 30’s birthday lunch party. Not to “steal her thunder” (which
I admit I do have a tendency of doing that to other people :>), I kept the promotion of my book to the very bare minimum. I only gave an “elevator” pitch of my book to everyone at the lunch table when her boyfriend publicly praised my book. To top it off, another friend who happened to sit next to me at the lunch table told me with a straight face that she found my book useful. She is someone that only offers compliments when she really means it. For that, I was more than pleased.
The sale of my book is important, but honest feedback and affirmation mean the world to me.
