Strangely, this is pretty much exactly what one of my friends told me when I talked to her about it on the phone - writing a book is an achievement in itself, I just need to remember that more often!

And if not, that's fine. Because you can always continue to promote and advertise after it's been out. Also, if people read it - awesome. If not, that's fine too. But you did something incredible. You wrote a book. And I'm guessing you wrote it as much for yourself as you did for other people. So it's never a waste. Just remember that.

I think the best thing an indie author can do is working on our inventory list, meaning writing and publishing more books. If you have two books out, you stand a better chance of getting noticed and if you have 10 out, your chances are even better. Don't give up no matter what happens to book 1. Remember, being an author is a long term thing. You can do this. The blogosphere is very supportive and I am sure there are many people willing to help out with spreading the word, including myself. Please don't give up. Murees Dupèhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781339206465690961noreply@blogger.com
