Empathies
I read a great deal written by other indie authors -- both books and posts. The posts that grab me the hardest are the ones expressing downheartedness. It's easy for indie authors to get disappointed with sales and marketing, and sometimes difficult for us to stay positive and keep up the writing and marketing energies.
My question is: When is it time to quit? When do the ROIs (returns on investments) no longer justify the time and attention? My answer should be "Never!", but is that realistic?
Some people truly do not have the talent for writing and should not be published, purchased and wasting the time of their readers. I share the downheartedness when I ask myself: "Is that me? Am I not good enough?" I get pumped again when, after months, I sell another book. Surely, my turn is just around the corner.
