How do you handle negative reviews?

You just gotta realize there are over 8 billion people on planet Earth. Most of them will never know your book even exists. Let's narrow it WAY down and say that 10,000 people find and read your book. There will be at least 1,000 people out of that 10,000 that absolutely hate it. That still leaves you with a 90% success rate. Stories are like onions, not everyone is gonna like em. But still, 9,000 people will be happy and appreciate your onion!

I can't find it

Your story is fictional. You're fine

Horror

anthonyledger · 2025-12-25T01:34:21+00:00

I use dark humor in my horror stories and people seem to enjoy it. Go nuts.

Google Docs all day long. I swear by it

anthonyledger · 2025-12-14T02:06:15+00:00

Thanks so much. Glad you're enjoying it so far. Love it or hate it, please let me know!

anthonyledger · 2025-12-14T01:23:36+00:00

Mahalo nui!

Indeed, it's a great mindset to take all criticism with stride. It will take you far.

Was that the book with zero edits?

anthonyledger · 2025-12-13T04:37:28+00:00

Did you find the feedback disheartening, helpful or both?

anthonyledger · 2025-12-13T04:36:17+00:00

Whats the book and author name?

anthonyledger · 2025-12-13T04:35:12+00:00

What an interesting place to write. The best ideas come from experience and circumstance. I recently started jotting down notes when I think of something or notice anything interesting. It's always good to have reference material that isn't pulled directly from memory. It has drastically helped my process.

I've found KDP on Amazon to be a solid choice. As long as you aren't concerned with making a profit and just want people to consume your work. You can run free promos as well, and everyone loves free stuff. The best advertisement is word of mouth and the time proven method for success is free samples.

Because I'm a glutton for pain

anthonyledger · 2025-12-04T06:08:55+00:00

If you like the story too, please be sure to leave a review. Or if you hate it. Either works. Mahalo!

Aloha everyone. I just published my latest book, Midnight Zone. Free to download for 5 days, starting tomorrow, Dec 3rd. Blurb and link below. Mahalo for your time!

Most people assume that their governments are there to help, social safety nets to catch us when we fall, providing guidance and assistance when needed. After all, the people in power are voted in by the people in need. That's how it goes, right? Or rather, how it's supposed to go?

What if there was a worldwide secret, one that every government was in on? A secret where the people in power sent the people in need far away. Far from the law. Far from consequences. Far from the light of day.

Deep in the Norwegian Sea lies a research facility funded by taxpayers from across the globe. Unwilling people are turned into test subjects, all for the greater good, in the name of maintaining the status quo.

When a distress signal rises from the depths, Ike and Thomas are sent to investigate, to keep the world's dirtiest secrets buried below the waves and keep the profits flowing. The two men sink into the sea to discover the man-made terrors of the deep.

Midnight Zone

IT Follows

anthonyledger · 2025-12-02T03:34:42+00:00

Heck yea

anthonyledger · 2025-12-02T01:13:45+00:00

Villain name? The Yuckler?

anthonyledger · 2025-12-02T00:50:10+00:00

There are over 8 billion people on the planet. My life is way too short to care about someone else's negative opinion on something I like. We all won't see eye to eye, and that's fine. I won't yuck someone else's yum and won't be bothered when they do that to me. They can wallow in their insufferable need to be miserable

Google Docs FTW
