by Jessica Bell
The
day I realized I’d been obsessing over my sales figures way too much was the
day I closed my eyes and tried to think about the real reason I am an indie
author.
Is
my primary goal to make money? No. So why do I keep obsessing over my sales
stats? I realized it’s because more sales means more people reading my work.
What I really really want is to be
read. I want to share the one thing in this world I would cut my fingers off
for. I know. If I didn’t have any fingers, I wouldn’t be able to physically
write, but you know what I mean.
My
passion for writing comes with a perpetual replacement button, attached to my
side seam, just in case it becomes unraveled, and falls off, after a day
gallivanting through the publishing jungle. It can be tough in there, but in
the end, being an indie author is OH SO WORTH IT.
This
made me wonder … what’s everybody else’s story?
Then Indiestructible was born.
