I can totally see how that can be a chore, Terry. I'm really up in the air on the indie vs trad question.

Thank you, Dale. Yes, hard work, stress, anxiety are all part of indie publishing. But research and hard work have led to your success. Congratulations. May your passion and new genre lead to much more success!

Like you, I did my research, and went indie (after traditionally publishing some short fiction) five years ago this month. It's been hard work, stressful and anxious at times, but rewarding and fun. I also like being the master of my own publishing. I launched my publishing in the fantasy genre, and now am pivoting to mystery, where my passion lies. My goal remains the same--to reach readers and stay in the black, as I did with my fantasy novels. It will continue to be challenging, and as you noted, lots of continued growth and learning.
