I have 9 hours left in my Pubslush campaign. This campaign is helping raise money to cover the initial costs of publishing.
After years of researching and contemplating and praying, I have decided to self publish, at least my first series.
Publishing of any kind comes with costs, it is a business after all. With contracts and artists and attorneys, it is rather a daunting task. It is starting your own business, launching your own career and it is as terrifying as it is exciting.
If you are in a similar boat, take heart you are not alone.
I would like to raise my glass (mug of coffee at the moment) to the artists, the entrepreneurs, the lone wolfs and risk takers that go it alone, the self employed, the business owners of every kind...here to you who are scared shit-less but continue on anyway.
May your dreams always start out as impossible. May your glass never be empty. May your moments, face down in the mud never stop you from trudging onward and may you never be afraid because someone says you should be. And, may all the no's be the epic drum roll to your own voice raised in a resounding YES.
And may you always take time for cheesiness. Because a good cheese is one of life's greatest joys.
