Did I mention how much I enjoy self-publishing, even with people's first thought being that my book must not be that good because I did (which I am happy to say that I - and a lot of other authors - are proving wrong, and many readers are noticing!). Joe Konrath put up a great blog on "The Myth of the Best Seller" and it got me thinking about why I took this path. The biggest turn off for me for traditional publishing is that they(traditional publisher) think they deserve a bigger cut than me after they decide whether or not my book is worth their time. Sorry, I don't think so - I've already done that.
However what really keeps my energy to up to continue writing and self-publishing, the BIGGEST reason for me to self-publish - and I do love self-publishing(for many reasons), is this: it's 100% me!
Love it or hate, I did it and I'm proud of what I've accomplished.

More true than I ever would have thought!
