The Best Compliment

There is no doubt that a writer wants his readers to like his or her work. You spend months working on the finished product. Endless hours sometimes on the beginning paragraph because it just doesn't convey what you, as a writer, intended. Does it catch the reader's interest? Did you hook the reader? Is it too wordy? I find myself in this position all the time. Up until that last rewrite, I am working on the first two pages of the manuscript. Once you've spent all that time and effort, you want the reader to like your book: to really like your book. What a compliment when someone you really don't know tells you how much they like what you have written. But the best compliment is yet to come.

"Do you have any other books?"

What a feeling to know that someone wants to read something else you have written. When you hear someone ask about other books they mean they not only like the book they've read, they like your writing.
