Sometimes, we're just not ready to write a novel and things need to percolate in our brains. <br /><br />This article was aimed more at drafts, not published novels, though. But it's a good reminder that sometimes it does take a while for a novel to find its audience. :)<br /><br />Glad your novel found its readers and is doing so well! I wish it was easy to know/find out why :) It must have gotten mentioned or linked somewhere or by someone with a wide audience and word of mouth spread. That's usually how it goes.

Yet there is a fourth option. "Wait". Many years ago, I authored a short novel, that I loved but no one else seemed to like. I thought of rewriting the story as I had already bought into the idea and ethos of the tale but as I read it again, I still loved it, I did not wish to change a thing (apart from an annoying spelling mistake). As luck would have things, busy working on a new novel, I never got the chance. <br />Checking sales figures for my novels, over a year later, for some reason (unknown to me) I saw the novel had started to sell, and those sales grew. A year later it had become one of my bestsellers (the first time my sales had reached thousands- lol- normally I measure them in tens, hundreds if I am lucky). I have tried to find the reason for the change from a trickle to a stream of sales, but I have still no idea why this should be so. Perhaps, a tale just has its time? <br />No Idea. Lol I wish it would happen to them all.
