I do not congratulate you for winning validation, however, that's a natural outcome of productivity. I congratulate you instead for all the time and effort and struggle you've put into defining your self. Sir, you aren't just a "best-selling author" - you are a bad ass!

If I ever won a coveted title like that (being put in that category by Amazon), I'd wait and let others call me that but I don't know that I'd ever be able to use the words myself. But that is just me and my own insecurity.<br />You've EARNED it!! You've been in this game FAR longer than I have.

Those lists are based on hard sales data, not popularity amongst critics or trad. publishing darlings.<br /><br />I've been bobbing on and off the horror list (Amazon Author Rank) recently and that's a direct result of working my ass off and beginning to make connections with real people that like my writing.<br /><br />Todd, you have my permission to be proud. And congratulations on the accomplishment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260538063869520166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392423252885054374.post-63946160980487247602013-04-19T09:53:57.880-07:002013-04-19T09:53:57.880-07:00I agree with Rob.

Wear this as a badge of honor, you worked fucking hard to get to this point, so take every thing you can! Tell the damn world about it! If I ever, ever to reach such a title, I know I would. Congratulations Todd, I cannot think of anyone more deserving. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
