Oh, so you think you will just write all day and wonderful things will happen? Think again, grasshopper. If you’re a one-man-band like myself and most other indie authors, you will have to wear an editor, publicist, marketing and publishing hat, just to name a few.
It takes hard work and then some more hard work. But here’s the payoff: After four years…yep..you heard me right…of consistent blogging with relevant content, supporting other writers, and interviewing authors so much more famous than I am (well, I’m not famous at all) my posts (blog) are on page ONE of Google search and my books are selling. This year a traditional publisher picked up my true crime series of books. Don’t misunderstand, when you get a publisher DO NOT stop publishing your indie books. And most important of all: KEEP WRITING!

“Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.” John Wayne
