I...Mary, I cannot express how awesome this post is! I LOVE how practically you look at this, because it's so hard for many authors to disassociate their passion for writing with practicality of the business. <br /><br />The best thing hidden within what you've shared here is this: It's 100% okay to not roar out of the gates and make a billion dollars. How many self-employed people do that? I've read that most independent businesses (restaurants, etc.) won't see a return on initial investment for the first 5-8 years of operating. <br /><br />When you factor in that many indie authors are doing this as a side project to their "real" jobs, and not devoting 100% of their time to this as they would other self-employed people usually do, then there's a real need to keep some perspective and have some patience. <br /><br />Appreciated this post so much.<br /><br />EJAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-40694551952556421892013-10-09T17:48:15.673-04:002013-10-09T17:48:15.673-04:00I think you'll end up doing well, Jay.

Well, now that I got my rights back, I have set aside $1000 in a separate account. And everything book related goes in and out of there.<br /><br />My budget is two full length novels off of that.

(Try getting a musical on Broadway, eh?) He's a graphic artist/techie/programmer/video & audio production specialist/former accountant and business man. Me, I'm a composer, writer, educator, actress, cartoonist, social butterfly, vocal performer, and entrepreneur.
