OK. I'm fed up with struggling with my WIP and was thinking of taking a little break to write a holiday romance novella. Cozy little late-Victorian Christmas romance that I'm been futzing around with just for fun. Then the light-bulb moment: why not do it up real quick and put it on Smashwords? Just for shits and grins? Maybe a little reassuring hey-you-can-do-this moment.
Moseyed on over to the self-publishing forum and took a gander. Sounds like a nightmare of epic proportions, and so time-consuming that I'd never get it out by Thanksgiving. Which is about the time I start reading this kind of stuff myself. Dang! Maybe next year, if the mood strikes again in February - which is highly unlikely. My brain will have long since lost interest.
But it got me wondering if anyone else here has done something like this? Basically just to see if you can, or for a little exposure, or for fun?
If so, how did it work for you?
