I've seen quite a few authors posting on Tik Tok about publishing on Amazon. I didn't know it was a thing. But it is. And so I did it. The moment I got the email that it had been published I wanted to vomit. I did it. Sure I didn't go traditionally. But I published my first book. I'm not just a writer now. I'm an author.
For those that go the traditional route, well I know it is way more involved. It's no easy feat. I know that because I have been submitting my work to publishers with no headway made. When I found out about Amazon, I thought, why the hell not. I'm not writing to make money. I'm writing because I love it. And I am so tired of, hiding it. Will people like it? I don't know. Does it still make me sick knowing I took that leap? Absolutely.
For twenty years publishing for me has been a dream. I never thought I would have the courage to let go. But I did it. And as terrifying as it is, it is also so freeing. I did it. And seeing it there. Brought me to tears. I did that. I created that world. No matter how it similar it may be to any other story. I created it. And I wrote it in only a way I could. And that, makes me happy.
I still can't believe I did it. I'll link it here if anyone is interested. But for those that do happen to read this. Thanks. And for whoever supported me. Thank you. I'm going to go puke now.
