Self-Publishing, The Most Unnatural Thing You’ll Ever Do

Welcome to self-publishing. Where you will essentially birth a book… by impregnating yourself, ultrasound yourself, giving birth in your bathroom, and then cut the cord with your teeth.

Writing is a process, but self-publishing makes it into a chore. A writer (or a wannabe such as myself) doesn’t get to keep writing. Other pressures and other commitments will always come into play. You’ve gotta promote, market, plan for the next book etc. etc.

I have 555 likes on my facebook. 4 books complete, and 3 more in the works. I appreciate all that I’ve accomplished. Although I believe firmly in a ‘walk if off, stop whining’ policy, I will warn anyone venturing out into the abyss that is self-publishing.

Think long and hard about it, hon. It’s cold out here…
