Hi all,

Mike Jones here. I signed up a long while ago but didn't get around to posting much. I just uploaded two MG novels and novelette onto to KDP. I suppose I should look into marketing. I'm sure my blurbs could use help also. So much to do. I'm about 55,000 words into my WIP.

Is it just me or does all this self publishing stuff become a little overwhelming?

Delilah J. Anders · Apr 24, 2017

Hidy! I can't answer fully, but when I looked into the self publishing route, I decided to save that as a last resort.. so yeah, overwhelming would be a good way to put it.. Not to mention paying for all the stuff yourself. Even though no route is easy, and exhausting, I feel like for me, at least till my bubble is burst completely, that I want to try the traditional publishing path a go..

Good Luck with all you are doing!
