I'm done with getting book reviews about The Irish Emporium.

I've had a few reviews of the book lately, and a lot overall, and the feedback is so mixed. Some people love it and only suggested a few changes with grammar and other minor stuff, and others don't think any of it is any good. They think the title, the cover, the summary everything just aren't that good, and the plot is really dull. I know I'm not a good writer and that everyone has different opinions, but it's such a mixed bag that I don't know how I feel about my own story anymore.

I agree that the title isn't that intriguing and doesn't have much to do with the story (although I promise the Emporium plays a bigger role in the upcoming part of the story), but I personally think the summary is alright and the cover is amazing, majesticmountain did an incredible job.

I know feedback is meant to help you improve and you need to develop thick skin, but I'm not upset about the feedback itself, I'm upset and confused about whether people like the story I worked hard on. It's made me lose confidence and made me dislike my own story.

I'm not planning on unpublishing it (I can't because I'm signed up for so many contests and reviews) but it's so annoying I'm having these doubts a very short time before TIE comes out of hiatus. My history test for that topic is on Friday, and I was planning on writing and releasing the next chapter no later than next Sunday, but I don't know if I want to now. All the chapters are really historically inaccurate now I know a lot more about the era, and I really want to rewrite them. But that takes time and effort.

I'm never getting feedback on an ongoing book ever again. I don't want to experience doubt like this, and that doubt was part of the reason I stopped writing chapters in my main books for so long.

Venting actually feels quite good.
