Crowned Heart of Excellence Review for Dragonslayer, Dragon Light!

     When I opened my email last night, I was expecting a lot of promos opportunities and other author newsletters that I subscribe to. 
     I never expected the email congratulating me for getting an InD'Tale Magazine's Crowned Heart of Excellence review for Dragonslayer, Dragon Light! To say that I was gobsmacked is an understatement. I was speechless. I had to re-read the email thinking that it was spam. It was the real McCoy.
       And to think that I was thinking of throwing in the towel...
     I don't know about other authors, but I go through bouts of doubt and insecurity wondering whether continuing to write my stories is still worth it. Despite the low points of being an indie author, I can say that it is still worth it. The joy, the excitement, the rollercoaster of emotions when an author is immersed in their story. It's still all there.
     I may not have that many readers. I may not be a bestselling author with letters to tout about. But I love my characters and the stories I weave. I love the worlds I build and will still build (I have another series in the making!). And I love my readers who have stayed with me through the years.
    That is enough reason for me to keep writing and once in a while, a prestigious accolade like the Crowned Heart of Excellence review comes along to give you a kick in the butt to tell you to stop moping and keep writing.
