Okay.
I finally made up my mind.
I'm going to self publish.
Now, I don't want to go into that whole indie/traditional debate. There are upsides and downsides to both. But the main reason I decided to go indie is because of time.
I'm only going to be fifteen for a few more months, and I'm sure my 16th year will fly by just as fast. I want to be a young, published author. And the younger the better.
But I'm afraid if I spend my time trying to find a company that wants what I write, then (if they actually decide to accept me) make changes their editor wants, then wait who knows how long for it to be released...
Well, let me just say I'm very impatient.
I've been working on From the Ashes for two years now. I'm done waiting!
And that, my friends, is why I'm going indie.
The decision was very hard to make, I can assure you. For a long time, I wanted to self pub and then I wanted to go traditional! My choice has really been back and forth for quite a while, but it's about time I decide.
So, what do you guys think about indie publishing? Would you rather go traditional? Tell me your thoughts!
