I’m building a complex world
under one of my
Romance Novel brands.
When I published
the first few books,
I received complaints
about the lack of
complex world building
because I didn’t dump it all
into those books.
Now, 30 plus books later,
that brand
is acclaimed for world building.
That is one of the reasons
readers buy
those books.
There was a delay
between the first creation
and the recognition
of what I was attempting to do.
“There’s often a significant lag
between the creation
of something useful
and when the market recognizes it.
That’s an opportunity
for speculators and investors,
who can buy
before the recognition happens.
And it’s an opportunity or a trap
for creators,
who might get disheartened
about the lack of
applause and upside
immediately after
they’ve created something.”
It is normal
if prospects don’t ‘get’
what you’re doing right away.
Be patient.
