The first publication is in a sense the most important. For one thing, it will leave first impressions on others and no one can afford to spoil his first impressions. What impressions the first publication will leave on readers and critics might be deep-rooted in their minds. For another, one’s initial success may serve as an encouragement and help to build up self-confidence. If the first publication is successful, the author will then, with more confidence, have other works published.
