Yesterday I was talking to my friend who is going to help me navigate the self-publishing waters. After I spoke with her, I was a little freaked out. I do not like not knowing what to do. I always say, I can’t sing, dance, draw, and I suck at math, but what I’m good at is studying. I like knowing things and knowing what’s going on. I’m finding it very anxiety inducing to be so ignorant of all the steps involved.
Luckily, I have generous friends who are willing to walk me through the process. One of the things I’m realizing though is that I’m going to need to step back a little from my original, modified plan. I need to get all four Rogue books written before I can start releasing them. I know I hate waiting for the sequel of a book, and I can’t imagine having to wait 2 years for the next book in a series.
I will start re-releasing my backlist at some point though. Well, after I re-edit them, because boy are they old! I need to save up enough money to buy the covers and get them scanned into word documents, because I lost those 2 computers ago.
I’m still figuring out how I’m going to do everything, plus keep writing when I’m working 3 jobs in a few weeks. Stay tuned to see what happens. I have no idea, so we’ll both be surprised…
