Writing has been a huge part of my life since I was able to pick up a pencil. At 7 yrs old I wrote only poetry, consisting mainly of dragons. I wrote my first short story when I was 10. Through the years I've written many short stories and books, not so much poetry anymore, :( all unpublished.
I am an avid reader and I follow many authors. That's how I learned about self publishing eBooks. My interest peaked, I researched everything I could find on self publishing. Deciding to go this route instead of formal publishing, took considerable thought (especially considering how difficult it is to be published traditionally).
I'm going to test the waters, self publishing one of my books in eBook format. I chose the first book in a series. If I feel the book is doing ok, even if not, I'll publish the second a month or so after. Keeping low expectations, as I know it's not easy getting out there, I'm staying positive.
Like I said, these next few months will be bananas for me. My friend and I sell our crafts and such at our local farmers market. Right now we're building up stock, preparing for the new season to begin in April. We sew wonderful gifts for kids and families. I also plan on adding a few of my paintings to the mix.
My New Year's Resolution is to go for it. Go for everything I would normally hesitate on. So, here I am!
Within the next few weeks I'll have my first eBook published. After that it's a waiting game :)
