Has anyone had a book traditionally published and then self-published or vice-versa? Which worked better and led to more book sales?
Indie publishing seems to be the worst of both worlds. I do all my own marketing and make very little from book sales. I would like to hear your experiences!

Preach, I’m 36 and sometimes I see a game and feel like the graphics are too good.
I often prefer something imaginative as opposed to hyper realistic.

Today is a day where I feel stuck in every sense of the word. Stuck in career, geographic location, income bracket, book sales, all of it!

Become distracted from your writing, after 10 days of avoidance shenanigans do something quiet like doing the dishes. Focus completely on your task and slip into a deep meditative state…until you have a sudden realization of your failings, drop what you are doing, and write like hell until 4am.

As a fan it is a dream compliment. Thank you for being an inspiration!

I like either format as long as the author can keep building the suspense purposefully and not get lost in it.
