Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly received a notice from the editor that the book could be put on the shelves. It was quite unexpected.
I have no manuscript saved, as I used everything for the updates during this period.
It went through four rounds of recommendations, which exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that it might be eliminated after three rounds of recommendations— the books during the same period were too strong, and my own writing skills hadn't improved much over these years. It was still the same old me, not very likable to many people.
Now there are ten thousand collections and one thousand two hundred readers, which is beyond my expectations. With 230,000 words, it's time to put it on the shelves.
This is the first book I wrote on Starting Point, which has not been successful. It took several books to get a contract, and the results were not good. Even at its best, it didn't make it into the boutique category with the editor's push.
