A reader contacted me yesterday.
She told me
she’d read every book
I’ve ever published.
She claimed to be
one of my most dedicated fans.
She only mentioned,
in detail,
my free books,
however.
And she asked
if X character would get
his own story.
X character died
in Book 3.
The next couple books
dealt with that death.
The reader lied.
I suspect she’d only read
the free books.
Why did she lie?
Who the f*ck knows?
Maybe she lied
to make herself
and her opinion
sound more important.
The key lesson is…
People lie.
Remember that
when you receive
potentially dream-killing
and/or cruel feedback
from prospects,
‘customers’,
‘superfans.’
It could be complete bull sh*t.
Evaluate the feedback you receive.
Ask for details
only a true customer would know.
