There's an expression in Australia that's called 'Go Bush,' which means to get out of the city and relax. I try and 'go bush' to places where there's no cell reception. But, I don't get to do that often, so for the most part, it's just a state of mind.
Now I know the difference between a rousing reception and a pat on the back. Now I know the difference between a gold in Commonwealth Games and a bronze in Olympics.
I don't know what reception I'm at, but for God's sake give me a gin and tonic.
I believe if you write a great book, the chances are it'll get a great reception.
It's impossible to control the reception of your work - the only thing you can control is the experience of writing itself, and the work you create.
