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?

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
