Why write?

[image error]

Why write self-published novels when it’s so hard to make a profit? If I wanted to make money, then I wouldn’t be a self-published writer. Now, there are a lot of indie authors out there who make money. Some get 5+ figures a year!

I don’t have the funds to put into books to get me noticed enough to make that much money. So why do I bother?

That’s a fair question, but the real answer is that I love writing. There are constantly stories playing out in my head – CON-STANT-LY!

Seriously! It’s a problem.

They stay in my head and I have to get them out. What better way than writing them down? These stories were written for me, but I do put a lot of work in them. Most, well, all but one so far live on my hard drive. I am working on setting them free.

Why do this?

Peer pressure. Truly, that’s the only reason. Friends read my stories and want me to publish them because they have fun reading them. So I work hard editing them, create covers, and market them with a minuscule budget.

It’s a fun adventure, but isn’t very lucrative.

Bottom line – this is all done for fun! LOL! Fun and adventure. What else could a person want?
