Self Publishing

To be published by a New York Publisher or a smaller publisher OR to Self Publish?????

That is the Question.

Times have changed.  Publishers are not publishing as much as they use to and they are not taking risks with new writers.  Even if you get published that doesn't mean that they will want your next book.  Shelve life is only 3 or 4 months and then your book is off the shelf.

Self publish you can sell on line from your website of a site like amazon.com.  Then your book can stay out there for as long as you like.  I like the sound of that.

I just bought The Idie Author Guide by April L. Hamiltton from www.amazon .com.  Tells you how to get self published on line.

That is the route I am going to take. 

I want to be a writer and I want people to read what I write.  It is that simple.

Tell me what you think.

Publish or Self Publish?

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning.
