Authors love getting notes especially from readers. It might be a line or two but something so small can brighten ones day.
I am fortunate to have the support of my family, friends and fellow writers/authors. That truly means the world to me. These are the people that give me that kick in the butt to push forward when you have a rough day or you get a rejection.
They motivate you to try harder. To never stop what you do because your work makes a difference in their lives. Being an author has shown me so much of the writing world I had not known about. It has given me the chance to live out a dream doing what I love. Bringing stories to life, creating worlds, giving life to characters...
I'm thankful for everyday that I get to do what I love and have such strong supporters all around me. Not everyone is fortunate to have strong support systems around them. Someone to guide them as they try to achieve their dreams.
So I wonder who is your biggest supporter? Is it family, friends?
Also next time you read a book drop the author a line if you enjoyed the work. That gesture can brighten up their day.
So while we are on the topic of books...My book Bid For Love has been released. I thought I would tease you a bit with a blurb...
Bid For LoveHer fantasy man is up for auction. Will Nico dare to bid?
Nico’s history of romantic disasters has taught her when she gambles on men, she fated to lose. That doesn’t stop her from secretly lusting after Jeff, the handsome construction worker she sees everyday on her way to work.
When the New York’s Sexiest Bachelor auction begins and Jeff comes up on the block, she’s seriously tempted to place a bid. The wager can’t be taken lightly — it might be for a good cause, but she’s making a bid for love……

I have my husband and my mom and sister. Dad and brother-in-law are proud of me but don't read my books. I also have a tremendous amount of support from friends and fellow authors. It's just amazing that they haven't given up on me even when I wanted to.
Savannah, you have my support 100%. I LOVED Bid For Love. I cried. Yes, cried. It's a beautiful story.
I have my husband and daughters here at home.
Then I have my dearest friends,that feel like family, they all are amazing.
Through everything I have been through I can always count on them to make me smile.
I drop a note always to the authors I read can not seem to stop myself from commenting on the books that is why my dearest friend Emery La Rue told me to give reviewing a try.
Sav, you know doll Bob and I support you 100%. I enjoy talking to you on here or on the phone.
Your an amazing person.

Denise you are my biggest cheerleader and that means so much to me. I can't ask for more....
Hi Savannah, I want to congratulate you on Bid For Love finding a new home! Yay! I hope you are hard at work on the next book...as for support? Well, I have great readers and fellow authors...that keeps me going!
My family supports me, but the MSA group also comments and shows support when we're all on a loop chat. It's wonderful to hear all the encouraging remarks.
It is good to know that there are people out there who support you in your dreams and everything you do...It makes a world of a difference.....
Great blog, Savannah - I don't think any of us could do this without support, and you sure deserve it.
Huge congrats on the new release!

My biggest supporter? Hmm, I would have to say ME. I'm very self-driven most of the time. My family supports me but none of them read my writing. Although my mother threatened to go out and buy my latest book if I didn't give her a copy! (Uh, so I am) They are always there for mental support but I find that online writing friends are the ones I go to for talking about the business. And Savannah is one great gal to talk to!

I would agree that I'm my biggest supporter. But my husband was the one that recognized my talent and pushed me to go for my dreams. Then there's my mom and dad - they are my biggest fans and my mom lights up a candle and prays every day for my success. Some of my friends are also great. Pat, a friend who I've known for 30 years, is a constant source of encouragement. I've also met some people online very recently whose concrete help and encouragement are just what an author like me needs to succeed.
