RE: What is Your Definition of a Successful Writing Career? (Indie Author Series)
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Eric. Self doubt is my biggest hang up as an author, and it is so encouraging to read about other's struggles and victories in that area.
Quite often I let life and my propensity to put other's projects and needs before my writing stagnate my novel's progress. I have found that having a defined goal and a bit of reflection can really help keep my focus where it belongs, and I loved reading your thoughts pertaining to that very topic!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this @generikat! I appreciate you stopping by and offering your support! Good luck getting that novel done. Is it your first?
You are so very welcome! It is my first novel, something that's really helping motivate me is I'm being mentored a bit by another author, Jack Castle. He's been amazingly helpful when it comes to navigating the publishing process. I am seriously impressed by anyone who navigates the self-publishing process, you're awesome! Thanks for the reply!!!
I appreciate the kind words. I started self-publishing simply because I had to but have grown to really like the total control it gives you over the process. I was signed by a tradition publisher a few years ago and abhorred the experience. I put months into a book and they barely lifted a finger to market it. Horrible. I'll stick with self-publishing. Cheers and good luck with your work! A good mentor really helps!
