If it's good, it'll sell. If not?

Best not to worry about it.<br /><br />You can really produce that quickly? I don't trust that it's good until I've let it stew for a while and then gone back to it. After a month, I always find things that make me say "what was I thinking?!"Eileen Rhoadarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934680476041554606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039670737739959567.post-43255801672426517452010-11-30T21:00:41.504+07:002010-11-30T21:00:41.504+07:00I study indie publishing the same way I study any ...I study indie publishing the same way I study any business: Do they know what they're talking about? Dean Wesley Smith, Kevin Anderson, J.A Konrath: They know what they're talking about. The two take-aways: 1.) They're, more or less, hybrid writers (that is, they do/did indie and traditional publishing). 2.) They Write the Next Book whilst selling the one they just wrote.<br /><br />As for your challenge, I'm all over it. I've got five book-length projects in progress, one of which is technically five novellas tied together with common characters. BUT...I really enjoy short stories, and I've come to terms with the fact that I'll probably always enjoy writing short stories more than books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701186474452272514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039670737739959567.post-82182921714046771832010-11-30T20:45:43.863+07:002010-11-30T20:45:43.863+07:00Great post.

That's all there is to it, really.<br /><br />How deep have you gone into "studying" indie publishing. I've been listening to some podcasts about marketing ... and I have to say, the ONE thing they DON'T talk about is WRITING THE NEXT BOOK. <br /><br />Huh?? I don't understand it myself.<br /><br />Maybe I need to write a blog post on it.<br /><br />One question (or challenge, really) -- Have you thought about writing a novella or novel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
