So, I’ve done the edit forthe first novel of my middle grade trilogy and am making good progress on editing the second novel. I’m also zeroing in on finishing the book cover (that’s another story for another post). But pulling the trigger, that’s the awful part.
I think I’ve fully decided to go the Amazon publishing route, but find myself second-guessing. I think it’s the fear that it won’t sell; that people won’t like it; that I’ll have a million typos. Nobody wants their work to end up in failure—or worse, abject failure. I suppose its easier to stay in the void with a project than to release it into the wild and have it die. Or suffer ridicule. I want to keep it in my arms and nurture it forever.
It’s a nail-biting dilemma. I have the gun in my hand, but I can’t pull the trigger.
