I just finished the final revision of my novel, The Oubliette. I'm kind of in a slump. You know that lost feeling you get when you've finished a long and arduous process? Now I'm faced with my least favorite part of the independent writer's life. I have to switch hats and become a publisher. I have to bear all the technical difficulties required by that complicated process, including formatting the book for the digital and print markets. Then there's cover design, marketing, distribution, and on and on. I just want to get back to work on the next novel. This is why I envy those of you who snag publishing contracts or have the money to pay someone to do these things. I'm sure I could find a publisher, eventually, though it might take decades - …I don't have that kind of time. So many books to author, so little time to do it. Let's get to work.
