Whoever writes and publishes must expect at any moment a rain of negative reviews to fall on his head with violence and without respite. Thinking of the worst, not like the pessimist of the day, but like a simple realist who knows and accepts the dynamics of the modern publishing world, of the 2.0 reader who no longer stays silent in his reading corner, but becomes the protagonist of the new publishing. The amateur in disarray What a novice writer must avoid like the plague is presenting himself as an amateur at risk. It is, let's be honest.
Publishing a book, especially self-publishing, is like going to the bullfight of the past: the risk of being booed is high. Remember the old movies where stage actors got picked on tomatoes? At that time there was the Phone Number Data bugaboo of tomatoes, as now there is that of negative reviews. The tomato juice, however, washes away, while the reviews remain and come back to hurt every time they are read and disclosed. The maturity of the writer You mature with years and experience, above all. But I'm talking about another maturity, the behavioral one, the one that makes you face failure with elegance and the desire to start again.
The one that doesn't break you down, the one that makes you understand that you truly are a writer. Because a writer is not just a writing fanatic, someone who has the urge to see his name in bookstores, but he is an entrepreneur who puts a product on the publishing market that no one needs, that no one asked for. And this must always be kept in mind, every time you decide to publish a book: no one asked you to do it, at least until you become famous.
