NaNo Day 16 — Something weird happened
As we stepped into the second half of the month, something changed
For the first time since I’m writing it, I fell in love with my book.
:0 :0 :0
I never expected this to happen! I saw it as a burden. I had to kick myself hard to start working on it at the beginning of the month. And now I cannot stop. I came to love it!
wth?!
Another unexpected thing is that I came to love writing and self-publishing books more than publishing a blog. That’s weird. As weird as it gets. And it makes no sense from economic point of view. None whatsoever.
If anyone, I have no illusions on how much money you can make by self-publishing books. It’s laughable, absolutely laughable. Well, no, it’s SAD. At least it’s sad for most.
Still… I love it. You know like a girl who cannot help loving a poor guy even though he is as poor as a pauper and there so no chance of comfortable living with him. Nevertheless, she loves him and he makes her happy.
There, that’s how doing NaNo feels right now. For the first time, it feels good. It feels real good.
This is what I’m working on: How to Self-Publish Your Book, available for preorder at $0.99.
