Okay, so I was reading some back posts from fellow Indie author Amanda Hocking and came across a gem where she's talking about The Secret. Now for those not familiar with The Secret, Oprah did a whole segment on it. It consists of telling the universe what you want and training your thoughts to control your actions. The idea is that through positive thinking, you can change your destiny.
So, here I go. I want Two Out o Three to be a success. Not a crazy Hocking type of success, just a "I haven't wasted years of my life" success. So, I'd like to hit the romance best seller list and I'd like y poor Sarah to get a little recognition.
Now there are some that say if you're sending things out into the universe, why not go for the big dream? Well, this is only my third book and my first in commercial fiction. I want it to be successful, but not everyone can be like Amanda Hocking or HP Mallory.
So, my discussion with the universe goes something like this: I did well as a literary author with nearly everything I wrote finding a traditional publication method in literary magazines, so I know I at least have some shred of ability. Now I want that ability to carry over and build. I want this book to be the one that starts a new life for me and my family. So there it is, I want to break into the top 100 Romance novels on Amazon. Crazy dream? We'll see.
