Hi everyone,
I've decided I won't post any more of "Love in Troubled Times".
I understand it's probably not what people are used to from me, and I just haven't gotten many hits here anymore after the first two chapters. The lack of comments makes me believe that it's probably not really people's "cup of tea". Thanks to the readers who did comment and let me know, it means a lot, and I'm sorry, I'm not going to post anymore. It's difficult to be confident in my writing when I don't really "see" anyone actually interested. Stay tuned for when the story gets published.
I've put a lot of work into this story, and I am finishing it up at the moment. Hopefully, I can publish it for Kindle in the next couple of weeks.
I write and publish under Dani Deveaux, so follow me on Goodreads, Amazon, or IG if you're interested in my work or want to stay in the loop about "Love in Troubled Times". I've also got several new ideas that I would like to put down as stories, so stay tuned or let me know you're out there if you're interested in my work.
You're also welcome to write to me at deveauxdani18420@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Thanks for reading!
Hugs, Dani
Sweet Dani, I am so sorry you didn’t get the reaction to your story that you’d hoped for. I am one of those for whom it wasn’t my cup of tea, as you say, but I’m still sad to know it didn’t get the reception on here you deserve. I hope when you publish it elsewhere that it finds its audience. I didn’t want you to think that your writing isn’t appreciated or that you aren’t welcome here. It *hurts* when a beloved project misses the mark with the people you normally write for, so please know that you are wanted and appreciated, even if perhaps this latest effort of yours didn’t attract its audience here. Lots of love
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I'm not really surprised actually. I didn't have much hope on posting the story here. It was a trial run and I completely understand due to the nature of the story and how it is written, it wouldn't appeal to too many people. I was hoping that at least it would be enjoyable for some due to the disability and assistive devices the male protagonist uses for walking. Naturally, my female protagonist is a devotee. But, writing is a lonely endeavor with little reward, so I had no expectations. I don't want to waste the space here and can focus on completing the story now. If anyone really loved it, I'd also love to hear from those readers. Thank you for your time and kind words!
DeleteHello Dani. Thank you for the information. I always appreciate your work. Read all of your books. I think you are an amazing, thoughtful writer. LITT is exeptional. I love it, even though it me cry 🥲. Sorry that I didn‘t give a feedback right away. It‘s because my English is mediocre.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know you are out there. Your English is not bad at all. I was afraid that the story would also be strange to read for non-English speakers as I know some of my readers are from non-English speaking countries. But I appreciate you so much. I'm sorry, it made you cry, but then I also think that is a good thing because it means the story moved you. Thank you so much! I will publish it soon, so hopefully you'll want to read it then.
DeleteI also loved the story. I enjoyed a different setting and era and I'm definitely going to buy the book once it's out.
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing!
Thank you so much for the comment. It means a lot to know that some people enjoyed the story. Writing is such a lonely endeavor at times. I hope to publish in June.
DeleteYour publishing in June is really something to look foreward to. Can’t wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm actually thinking about posting on Kindle Vella
DeleteHi Dani
ReplyDeleteU r very talented abd it makes me sad to see you stop writing here. I think mainly because this is a heavy subject (for me). I hope it will be a success in a book form. There is a lot of effort in it. Good luck
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it's not a typical romance and that's why I know it's not for everyone. But thank you for letting me know you're out there. It means a lot.
