If you’re a
writer, a reader, a potato-peeler…I figured I’d come by and say hello and talk
to you about 10 things I’ve learned while being an Indie writer. There’s probably less than ten, but I’ll do
my best to stretch them out and talk slow so this post will last. Hee hee.
Alright. Enough horsing
around. Here we go—
10 Things
I’ve Learned While Being An Indie Writer
· I’ve learned what BRAND means. It means that people will pick up your books,
expecting a certain kind of story out of you.
You might be the paranormal girl.
Or the Queen of the kinky-sex-scenes.
Or the guy that makes us laugh.
For me, I’ve swept all of my brands into one big heap and call my brand The
Unexpected Twist. You can expect it all
from me.
· I’ve learned that looking at reviews can KILL
YOU. There will be people who love our
work, people who hate it, people who blow smoke up our fannies, people who are
just miserable trolls. When I’m feeling
crappy, I go check out J.K. Rowling’s slew of 1 star reviews and realize it
ain’t no thing.
· I’ve come to understand that the battles over
comma placements have gone on long before I was born and will continue long
after I am gone.
· I’ve learned: OMG! I can format a book!
· OMG! I can make an ebook cover!
· OMG! I
can learn to plot stringently…I’m sure of it!
· I’ve learned I need to just keep writing. You can get trapped in quality vs. quantity;
Indie vs Traditional; smut vs. sweet, and it all comes down to this: WRITE A BOOK.
· I’ve learned that every single person I meet,
upon hearing that I am a writer, tells me that their life story would make a
bestseller. And they are right.
· I’ve learned that writing has to be for the
joy. And when it is, we can’t lose.
· I’ve learned that every book is a bugger, but
also better than the last.
I hope it
helps you too! Thanks again for having
me over for the guest post spot!
