As an author, I do read my book reviews. I value feedback from readers as it helps me understand their perspectives and improve my writing. While positive reviews are encouraging and affirming, negative reviews can be challenging to handle. However, I try to approach them constructively, focusing on any valid criticism to learn and grow as a writer. Ultimately, every review, whether good or bad, contributes to my growth and evolution as an author.
As an author, I believe that continuous improvement is essential for honing my craft. If I had to give up one thing to become a better writer, it would be procrastination. By dedicating more time and focus to my writing, I could refine my skills, explore new ideas, and produce higher quality work.
As an author, I believe plagiarism is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry. It undermines the integrity of original work and violates the rights of authors who invest their time and creativity in their writing.
It's incredibly gratifying and humbling when people recognize me in public and express appreciation for my work. It's a reminder of the impact that storytelling can have on others and motivates me to continue writing and sharing my stories with the world.
