Just today I was thinking about what it would have been like for authors such as John Steinbeck, Leo Tolstoy or H.G. Wells to have been able to utilize the internet for their self-publishing needs.
For the longest time I never considered self-publishing any of my work because I wanted to go the traditional route. But then I realized that I am not a "traditional" kind of person and ran down the path of self-publishing e-books and never looked back. I have made sure to make the majority of my work available for FREE on my personal website. I'm not in the business of making obscene amounts of money from my writing and I don't believe any true writer is. I just want to share my work with as much people as I possibly can during my lifetime. I'd rather my work be honored and praised posthumously. Only then does the world take notice of quality literature. Well, most of the time. Until then... I shall keep my laptop, pens and notebooks close to me at all times.
On another note... I completed my third poetry e-book An Almost Notion yesterday. I have uploaded it to the FREE E-Books section. I forgot to mention it in yesterday's blog post because I was wrapped in the protests going on. Feel free to download it, read it, share it. :-)
