Self publishing is a [i]very[/i] dirty term :). It's seen as sort of death knell to any attempt to make a career out of it---but stigma and fact don't line up very often. It's great to hear that you know people finding success with it. It's a little awkward sometimes to say that possible income from writing is a factor. You do it because you love it. But you can do it more if it isn't getting in the way of making a living (or, you know, helps in making a living). I doubt I'll ever make it HUGE. It'd just be nice to pick up a [i]little[/i] something, and most of all open doors so that I at least get a second look. Thanks so much for the encouragement, conversation, and curiosity. Your friends epublishing are lucky to have you around to keep them grounded and encourage them to move forward.

  • Trust me. They struggled with the whole self publishing thing before going for it. They felt it somehow diminished them as writers. But times are changing. There's currently a high grossing movie in the cinemas, based on a best selling novel, based on Twilight fanfic. There are retail books sat on shelves that started as self published stories online. I understand if you want to get picked up by a proper publisher, it's still the best indication that you've 'made it', but I'm just saying. Some of those other routes aren't as dirty as you might believe.
