necia_phoenixI now have a wordpress blog on my new website here. I am still fiddling with it, trying to get it to do what I want it to do. Like crossposting here. I am still doing research and sorting through my shorts trying to figure out which one will get the first boot out the door. I have set a launch date and I have my hubby's full support.
I am excited. And I think what appeals to me the most is the concept that I write what I want, not to please an agent or an editor. If I craft a good, well-written story it will find readers. :P Yes, I KNOW there is a vast amount of marketing to get the word out. I have been researching this stuff since last fall, quietly taking notes, considering the pros and cons and what impact each publishing method can have. The successes of certain indi authors are impressive, but not really something I am focused on. Keeping my rights to my intellectual property... THAT is what concerns me the most.
I've been reading Dean Wesely Smith's blog. Go there, cruise through it. For those numbers types check the math of it all.
Another thing I want to mention, flist if you have things, self pubbed or not, that you'd want me to link to feel free to drop me a note here or over at the other blog.
Life is starting to speed up on my end so I have to close this out. Take care all.
