It's an aspirational list but ...Agreed, Anthea. It's an aspirational list but the key thing, as you point out, is to write and write and write.<br />On perfection, we all make mistakes and sometimes better to go for the 'good enough', but we will be judged by our readers. The hardest part can be to go through that MS one last mind-numbing time, publish and still find that pet mistakes have stayed in there. Great thing about digital publishing is, of course, mistakes in a published work can be remedied in the same day they're spotted ;-]@Ruby_Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136530922804444637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220451194932270724.post-59045990886235826662012-07-23T22:10:29.875+01:002012-07-23T22:10:29.875+01:00This is good advice, but not many writers are this...This is good advice, but not many writers are this organized. The skills described here sound more like the skills of a business professional. Not all creative people possess the skills of a businessman or businesswoman. Things like not alienating anyone, preparing in advance, recruiting a bunch of people who will review your book. These are the skills of a CEO not a Faulkner or a Hemmingway. Those two creative souls don't strike me as the types to manage a business. It seems to me that if you can do the things mentioned in this blog, you should, but if you don't, don't let it discourage you or stop you from writing. And as far as getting it perfect the first time you self-publish, good luck with that since nothing is ever perfect and perfectionists often get stuck in neutral.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408044121527736548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220451194932270724.post-41908739264321561022012-03-25T17:29:35.405+01:002012-03-25T17:29:35.405+01:00@Louise and @Joanne, glad you found it helpful.
