A Very Special Zoom Meeting!

text with scattered confetti | A Very Special Zoom Meeting

The other day, I had a very special Zoom meeting with Cindy Georgakas from The Unique Times. I am sure many of you are familiar with her fabulous blog and fabulous self. Cindy and I talk often, daily I would say. She’s not a blogging friend, she’s a friend. A great one at that. She’s been so helpful, encouraging, and supportive throughout my writing journey and I’ve learnt a lot from her.

She was coincidentally one of the first people to receive a physical copy of my recently published debut novel, Perfect. So we decided to hop on a Zoom call and she decided to surprise me with an unboxing of the extra copies she had ordered to give to friends and family! We decided to record and share a part of it. This was my first time seeing the physical version of the book in person/on video:

She also shared her review of the book on her blog some time ago which I was so grateful for and absolutely loved. As an indie author, I am truly so grateful to everyone that takes the time to read and review the book because it’s not easy to come by and I don’t have the budget to pay people to do it like traditional publishers do. But that’s not the point, the point is that Cindy is absolutely awesome and I am so grateful to call her a friend. Thank you, Cindy, for a very special Zoom meeting!

My first novel, Perfect, is now available on Amazon. If you would like to read it, please click here.

  6. Oh my! This is amazingly encouraging stuff. Yay to Cindy. Yay to you. So happy to see this.
    And this has prompted me to visit Amazon I’ve not visited in a very long time.
    Perhaps I’m your first buyer from Japan? Maybe not. Anyway. Digital is the only form it’s available and click ✅ I got it. Yay.
    Will review because I like your work and honestly —because you reviewed mine. (That’s the route I’m choosing now) !¡! Thanks so much. I’m sure I’ll love your book Pooja. Bless you. I hope you receive your copies too.

    BTW, did you write about your publishing process? I really really want to know. Send me the link please.

    Congratulations 🎉

    1. The credit goes completely to Pooja but I’m so honored to support her Selma, like you. So happy you got a digital copy. You’re going to love it. Aww that’s reason enough to support her work.
      hugs ❌

    2. Thank you so much! Cindy is truly the sweetest. Yes, I’m quite sure you’re the first to buy the book from Japan- how cool!
      I haven’t written about the publishing process but hope to share it next week. I’ll send you the link when the post goes up.
      Thanks! 😊

  7. Love this post, the two of you together! I can see your admiration for each other and it’s great to be connected to both of you on WP. Cool that it was your first time seeing the printed version, Pooja!

    1. Awww thanks, Steve. It was so fun to just see the video, she recorded. What I love on our blog is we’re all the same age and age is timeless.. well kind of 😂😂 You are a great supporter. ❌

      1. Yeah, kind of, lol… though some are a little more timeless! 😂😂

        The feeling of great support is mutual! ❤️

    2. Thank you so much! Yes, I’m so glad our lives crossed paths- Cindy is truly a wonderful person.

      1. She certainly is, and I’m very happy you’ve both benefitted from meeting each other. 🙂

    1. You’re very kind, Nigel. I hope to be as good as Pooja says and hope my animals agree… 😹 As you know, she is a gem and worth every ounce of support. ❌❌

      1. Always. And this love and energy make the community such a beautiful place to be as a creative

    1. That would be so appreciated, thank you. Have a lovely week too.

  11. Great stuff Pooj. Good luck with the book!

        To see the support you’ve gotten is very exciting — I haven’t listened to it yet but I have no doubts that your meeting with Cindy was superb, and I know you’ll keep on soaring and keep on shining like the star you are 🌠⭐😁😄

              1. Thanks ☺️🫡💙

  15. What a wonderful sight!

  16. Pooja… the credit goes all to you. You have dreamt this, breathed life into it, gone the distance when I wondered why you had to edit one more time when it was already PERFECT!… (unlike me … lol). I truly am blushing pink💗 by your words of love and acknowledgment and as much as I would like to take credit.. it is all you! But thank you so very much for your words that touch my heart more than I can say. Knowing that you appreciate it and it meant so much mean the world to me. I just hope Ollie, Star, Hunter and Duke think I’m as good as you think I am. We never know where our support is appreciated when in our own circle we can’t effect change in loved ones the way we wish we could so this comes at a time that I truly cherish since it’s been a challenging time ( we haven’t talked about that) as it’s your time to shine and all spotlights on YOU! Enjoy the glow of a most successful launch. I did love the video and the fun of surprising you and my jacket was actually almost like a lily which was cool and us matchy, matchy was wild. Hey and you even curled your hair.. I loved it. Now, let’s sell this PERFECT book! 💕💗💕❣️

    1. Aww thank you again, Cindy! You have always lived up to my expectations and if anything gone above and beyond them too! I’m sure your fur babies will agree 😂
      Truly, this platform gives us such a wonderful place to do that and support one another through our different journeys. I loved the lillies and the beautiful outfit and seeing the paperback copies! Thankfully, I have mine too now 😊💕

      1. You’re soooo welcome and it was well deserved. That is so very endearing and so much appreciated to share a mutual respect and care of each other and knowing that you can count on me and I you, means so much. How could they not agree, I feed them. 😂
        Wish I could send you those lilies but they live in your heart now. We were definitely intuiting each other and soooo glad you have your paperback copies now as well❣️

        1. Aww for sure, the lillies will always be in my heart! Thank you ❤️

          1. Awww that’s a wonderful place for them to live!❣️

  17. Having a true friend like that is one of the greatest pleasures of life.

    1. Agreed, it’s truly something to be grateful for.

  18. I love Cindy! She is such a generous person with a beautiful heart. How cool you got to Zoom and talk about your book. Fabulous. I hope it becomes a best seller! Hugs, C

    1. She truly is and yes it was so awesome. Aw thank you, I hope the same haha!

    2. Awww thanks, Cheryl! xx Best seller here we come❣️

  19. Hey Pooj, I was just randomly scrolling through the Reader—it’s quite interesting. Please tell me more about Zoom meetings and if there’s any community where writers can connect. TIA

    1. Hey, thanks so much for stopping by. There’s certainly a big writing community on WordPress. If you go to the tag “writing” you’ll find a lot of writers there. As for the Zoom meeting, that was just a fun thing Cindy and I did. I’m not too sure if there are writer related Zoom meetings currently.

      1. Ya but interesting way to connect each other.. I love this one

  20. Oh, how wonderful! 💞

    1. It was! 💕

  21. Wow, that’s amazing! Again, congrats on your first book, and here’s to many more!

    1. Thank you so much!

  22. […] I have received so much love and support for my debut novel, Perfect, which came out last week. I wanted to share some of the lovely posts people have shared on here and thank them personally. I’ve already shared Cindy’s review if you want to check it out here. […]
