Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

What is the dream of every author? To sell a book, of course. Nothing frustrates me more than waiting months for a book sale. I experienced it in April when I was 38 days without sales, until the middle of May.  Meanwhile, I got many promises that woke up fake hopes and expectations. "I would love to read this. " "Sounds thrilling. " "It will be on my Kindle." Checking my sales report, I did not see changes. That made me think, how many times do authors live in illusion? In the middle of May, the situation started to change. I sold e-books, and paperback, and even got some KENP reads. My buyers simply commented:" I purchase it. I bought it." It was very important to me because also I got 3 new ratings, 5 and 4 stars for my books. I don't know who rates it, but I am glad my readers like my books. Then I realized, that authors must separate fake buyers from real ones, to make difference between promises and pretending and separate it from real

If you are an author, the feeling of madness is familiar to you. Emotions will fly on the paper. Depending on your mood, your expression will find a place in your story. Sad? Your lines will be filled with sadness. Angry? Your letters will burn in anger. Happy? Your lines are smiling. If you have the power to forward your message to readers, they will feel it. Primarily if your stories are based on actual events, you can reach to reader's emotions. Some myths about authors: They are addicts. Drinking and taking drugs was not unknown to authors, but it is not the label everyone should wear. They have mental problems. Writers such as Poe and Kafka are usual patterns, but not every author deals with this. If authors have writer's block they fall into depression. You can see this in movies when the writer is desperate because his thoughts can't go in the direction he wants. Javier Bardem is a playing writer who will do everything to please his fans in the movie "Mama."

I am a multi-genre author and thrillers are my favorite genre. Being on another side, as a reader and reviewer (only when I pick the book) I discovered things that readers dislike. I was reading about 150 books by indie authors. Partly to improve my English and writing style, and partly because I love reading, I was on a journey with interesting views. This is my opinion and some will not agree with me, but you can comment and express your opinion. Here is the list of book turn-offs: Prolonged books. I understand some authors want to tell the story with many details, but the plot is lost if you are stuck with too many descriptions and unimportant things. Reading a thriller that is stuck with a love story in the middle will distract readers. In the end, you have a messy book where the content is not clear. Mixed genres . Ok, if I am reading a thriller, I don't want to spoil it with a sleazy love story, about the wedding plans of the main characters. Sugarcoating is not good. A good

It will happen that people will leave your life. Circumstances, conflicts, or various interests will change your friend's circle. In one life period, you will face its problems alone. There is no help and assistance from friends because they have gone. This situation, however, has some advantages. Your friends will not give you bad advice. Your friends will not lecture you. Your friends will not use your dirty laundry against you. You will not owe favors to anyone, because they helped you once. Facing problems alone demands a high level of discipline and concentration. Those fake people can return later when you gain success. In my example, it looked like this. Hellen worked voluntarily in the court. Her boss used her and complained about every task she did. After she found another job, she got a message from her ex-boss to help her with some documents. Helen replied: "Excuse me, the wrong number." Beware of flattering people and those who support you while you are winnin
