Make your plans in silence

The most successful person is the one who put a curtain over her plans. Nobody knew what is going on, and suddenly stroke of luck hit her.

For sure you heard about the spell of jealousy.

If you say to someone that you like a guy, bad energy can ruin your possible relationship.

If you talk about a business opportunity, envy can ruin this at the start.

I know, it is hard to be quiet when you get a chance to make your life better. You want to share happiness with someone, you want to talk about what is going on. Imagine that you have a chance to be with the love of your life, and suddenly it blew. Your confident person will ask what happened to your prince and you will have one problem more.

The things others don't know can't hurt you. Maybe you were dumped by someone and nobody knows. Maybe you failed at your work task and nobody knows. Your failures should stay buried and let success make a noise by itself.

Making plans in silence have an advantage.

Others will be surprised by the possible result and they will have no time to ruin this.

If your plan fails, nobody will know that it even existed.

If your plan fails, nobody will laugh at you because there is no proof that you did something.

Do you know about those relationships, when people say: "I did not know they are dating." These are the best relationships because they developed in silence.

After I burned in private and business plans, I hardly say a word to anyone about me and my plans. I build, work, fix myself and make my steps. I learn, progress, fail, cry in silence. I don't believe and I don't brag until is over.

Remember, those who care will not ask while you don't say them. Those who don't care would be happy if you fail.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling. In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

"I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Why is refund damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...
