Yikes.
I did a lot of tossing and turning that night. There were tears. Thoughts of quitting.
But then I reached out to my family, friends and fellow authors and found that my writing doesn't have to stop. I am now navigating the scary path of self-publishing. Double yikes!
But I am excited. It's something to look forward to. I'm learning new things and enjoying that I have ALL the control. That's pretty heady. And nice.
After a few days of uncertainty, I'm grateful I have a plan and that I'm anticipating the opportunity. I hope to have my books back up soon, and my new release, The Inventor's Heart, is ready to go!
Wish me luck!

DeleteYou can do it!! You're off a new adventure. Best of luck and enjoy the small steps. They lead to the big ones and the end of the path.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSorry to hear your publisher has closed. Not a lot of warning for you. But have no fear, the Gems are here to support you on this new adventure.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Y'all have been wonderful!
DeleteWishing you the best of luck in this new endeavor! I'm starting to do some indie publishing also, so we can encourage each other!! You'll do great!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great! I'm here for you if you need anything!
DeleteIf I figured it out, anyone can. You'll do great! I love that I continue to learn new things every day.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been very interesting. I'm excited to have so much control over everything.
DeleteOMG Kara! You can do it, though!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm trying!
DeleteKara, you will love being self-published. As you mentioned, YOU are in control of what you write and when. Pretty heady stuff, right? And the pay is greater. Not great, but more than with a publisher. Congratulations on having a new book ready! You've got this!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteChange = opportunity! Go for it, Kara. I know you're going to be amazingly successful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thank you for all your help!
DeleteGood luck, Kara! I've had a few publishers close after I sold to them. (Is it me, do you suppose?) It sounds like you've got a good plan!
