Yesterday I showed the first book in my NA series to my partner, and we discussed what I want to do with the series. She's encouraging me to self-publish it, which is probably the best route, and made some very helpful suggestions. I have a lot to think about now.
If I go one way, I'm going to end up becoming an independent author/publisher. If I decide against doing that, then I'll probably have to consider scaling back or even retiring from the business in the near future, depending on my partner and my health situation. It's another one of those crossroads moments.
You'd think at my age this stuff would get easier, especially as I've done it so many times in the past, but nope. It's still as difficult as it was back in '98 when I got the call from New York. Maybe more so because I know how easily I can fail even with a great idea for a novel series.
So: thinking. :)

GO for it!! You only go around once in this life. Why not take advantage of your talent and give the self publishing a chance. :) You'd never know what the outcome would have been if you don't try.
Thanks, Theo. I'm still brooding, but it's becoming more of a possibility.
