Self-Publishing Blues

Sometimes I ask myself why I published my own book instead of trying for an agent, dreaming about a big publisher, reaching for the stars. It's hard to market your own work, especially when you don't have that loud of a voice anyway.

But I'm proud of what I've done nonetheless. Would obtaining an agent and publisher likely be the better route? I can't say for sure; my success right might have gone up. There are so many amazing things to being an indie writer, from deciding my own book covers to being in control of what I do with my novel.

My only wish at this moment is that more would give my book a chance. I write for me, but I would like to share my writing with as many people as possible. Not for the money, though it tends to make the world go round, but to spread my stories, and yeah, it would be wicked awesome if a lot of people liked what I had to say.

Writing is wonderful, having a physical copy of my book is incredible, and I need to be patient as I take baby steps to the next stage of my journey.
