Well, after one year spending countless hours browsing the net, searching for any publishers/interests, writing queries for 2 screenplays and 1 novel and thus having no time to write anything ELSE anymore, I decided to self-publish.
I've published 2 novels and scientific books in my home country, but that doesn't seem to help me one little bit.
Either they don't take submissions, they want an agent, they want MY ideas of how to promote the book, I need to get into a contest first and blbalbalba. All that takes months with no result whatsoever. For one year, my life is just stuck in searching people I might beg to read my stuff. I guess other authors have the same experience.
I thought I might finally be able to MAKE some serious money with writing instead of paying for publication - but the process is getting so on my nerves that I lost all energy to write or do anything at all. Therefore, to get forward somehow, I'll self-publish. So I can at least control when and where it comes out and THAT it comes out within this year.
