Every time
one of my writing buddies
has
a book release,
she says,
“Take that Professor” X
“You said I would never
be a writer.
You can suck a$$
because look at me now.”
And then she laughs.
She is fueled
by pure spite.
And…
it works for her.
I once received
a review
that said
my action-packed romance
had too much sex in it.
I crammed the next story
with as many sex scenes
as I could fit into
the plot
BECAUSE of that review.
And that sex-filled story
sold VERY well.
Spite is a valid motivator.
Embrace it!
