Self-publishing is a great way to get your book out there, but it’s a lot of work. The only way I see making a living off this is to constantly stay out on the road or get out there and peddle my book on the street EVERYDAY. Since promoting and selling, I’ve had very little time for writing. I’ll have a spurt here and a spurt there.

Now that I’m a full-time author, it seems like I have less time to write. I know I can do this if I have to, but I pray to God that he blesses me with a traditional publisher.
