I don't quite know if this goes here, or anywhere, but this came to me and I thought I'd share, as it was helpful to me. Like many, I am mired in my own preconceived ideas about talent and the idea of trade publishing whereas I'll pbly be going indie sometime this year or next, But then I thought of this:
The Impressionists, you likely know, were all rejected from the Salon, that authoritative institution that made and broke artistic careers - the way the Impressionsits did things hadn't a chance in hell of ever having that imprimatur. So they decided to have their own independent exhibitions (it was Pisarro's idea by the way, from Anarchist principles learned during the Commune). The rest, as they say, is history
Consider my mind changed and greater peace with the idea of going indie in the end.
I hope this also helps anyone hesitating to jump into the Indie fray. You'd be in good company.
