For a long time, I thought publishing a book was this big, loud affair. Then I got some of my works published, and that was very exciting, and I’m grateful for the experience, but it was also a rude awakening for me. I was jolted into this world where no one will automatically care that I had published works. There are a few, and I’m so infinitely grateful for them. But generally, you gotta hunt your audience down one post, one word, one comment at a time. It really is a lot of work. Naturally, I want to say that you need talent in writing to sell books, but I’m not very confident in that idea.
Publishing your work independently is a quiet thing. It goes into a database and out the other end, and you’re informed with one. simple. email. That’s it. No gold star upon completion. No pat on the back; heck, you don’t even know when it’s coming out the other end. It’s just a random day during a random week.
On the plus side, it does come out of the other end with your name on it!
👆🏽 What’s important to remember 👆🏽
After publishing, you get to talk about your book! Listen, fish stories are amazing for a reason. What happened while you were writing? How’d you wrangle your characters in? I wanna know. Did you reel in an ancient character from out of this world and throw it back because it was too small? Brag about it in the best way possible. It is not easy to write a book and sell it to the world all on your own. You get to talk about it!
So if you felt inspired by this post, you ought to see what I
wrangled up while writing my story! 😉
