Indie Authors & Books discussion

Some days, being an indie author feels like screaming into a void and wondering if anyone will ever hear you.
You question your choices, your talent, your sanity—sometimes all before lunch.
You revise endlessly, second-guess every sentence, and try not to take it personally when your work disappears into the algorithm.
But still, you write.
Because deep down, despite the doubt, there's a part of you that believes the story is worth telling—even if no one’s listening. Yet.
If you’re out there, I’d love to hear how you’re holding up.

By the skin of my teeth!

Definitely screaming into the void. But I derive much more satisfaction from writing than I do the marketing piece, which is the hardest part.

Sometimes it feels like you’re standing on a street corner, flapping your arms and yelling, “Look at me! Look at me! Please look at me!” And all you’re managing to do is make yourself look crazy.🤪
