My name is Shelly and I am a young author. I have been writing books for years and they have been published. However, they didn't sell well. I thought it was time to promote the sales and share my stories with the world by myself. However, I hadn't expected that this decision would take me on an adventure I could have never imagined.
I have always loved the fast-paced atmosphere of this modern city. It keeps my mind sharp and quick. With my bag full of copies of my first book, I set out to sell them. I walked along the busy streets, stopping at every possible bookstore, trying to persuade them to stock my book. But every manager I spoke to gave me the same answer—"Sorry, we are not interested."
I was sad. I had put my heart and soul into my book, and here I was, facing many rejections. But I refused to give up. I knew that I needed to get my books sold. As I walked, lost in my thoughts, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and saw a young man, probably in his mid-twenties, smiling at me. "Excuse me, Miss. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with that bookstore manager. I happen to own a small bookstore a few blocks from here. I would be happy to stock your book," the man said.
I couldn't believe my luck. I followed the young man to his bookstore. He introduced himself as Alex, and we ended up chatting for hours. He had a love for books and was glad to help a struggling author like me. From that day on, Alex's bookstore became my go-to place to sell my books.
Months went by, and slowly, my books started selling well. Alex and I became good friends, and he even recommended my books to his customers. I was happy and grateful for his support, but my journey was not smooth.
