I kno...That's a very good point you make Larry. I know a couple of writers like that and they've all ended up self publishing with a very good backlist and have made a success of themselves.<br /><br />Living Beneath the Radar,<br /><br />You can end up selling thousands of books if you self publish and earn more money from it as well. So don't assume that every self published book is doomed to fail. Many traditionally published books are taken off the market because they've failed to sell well so I wish you the very best with whichever path you wish to take.<br /><br />Tracy,<br /><br />Ah, thanks very much - that's very nice of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-69908536486530457282013-11-23T14:02:52.908-08:002013-11-23T14:02:52.908-08:00Great post.

I have been writing this 2nd script for 5 yrs. I was busy with working instead of the script. But at least I had my blog.

I have written 4 non fiction books and now have finished a sequel fiction mystery novel (both books) I am going to try to not self publish because I want to sell more than a couple hundred and feel the story is good. Just took a class of writing a query letter and finding the correct agent. This has to be the most difficult part of writing besides editing the book. Starting a blog may be next.

That was me. Then, I just had to bite the bullet. I told myself it didn't matter if I sold one book or a thousand. It was just something that would survive me. It was published and launched out into the world. Trumpets? Horns?, Drumroll? No way. Silence. And then I forgot about the critics and started the other side of publishing: marketing. You're one of 300 to 400 thousand books published annually. Get busy!
