When Failures Happen

If you’re attempting to do
something different,
something wonderful,
something that hasn’t been done before,
you will
sometimes
fail.

My most recent release
(releasing today)
failed.
Reviews were great.
Sales were not.

I have owned my failure.
Sales are on Amazon.
I can’t hide the ranking.

Admitting failure is tough to do.
What is even tougher
is hearing people say
“it will get better”
or
“it might be a sleeper hit”
or
other prolonging hope where there is none bullsh*t.

A better response is
“What are you doing next?”
Failures happen.
Accept that and move on.
