QFT: "Especially when they’re true fans, basically strangers who only know you for your work." They give you confirmation that what's inside of your head is actually entertaining to someone else! I realize I'm echoing what you've said, but that to me is real validation of your work. It does mean the world!

You're doing all the right things. And when those fans write you, even just that short message, it means the world, doesn't it?

Right on! It does means a lot when I Twitter/FB about my upcoming book "Alibi Jones" and a fan messages back, "Can't wait!!" It's inspiring & keeps me going through the down times. And I got most of those fans through podcasting my first three books at Podiobooks. Can't overstate the impact Podiobooks has. Great advice, Seth. Right on!
