I never, ever thought of doing it for the money. Some short stories of mine have been published and won contests, but that was the "icing on the cake". I'll probably be writing right up and through my last breath...God willing!!Donna M.

I self publish because I know I'm not going to make the money and I don't want to loose more money on copies and postage.<br /><br />I write because I can't not write. I don't expect to be a phenom.<br /><br />If I want rejection all I have to do is go to my family dressed in my goth garb.<br /><br />There may be a few superstars in writing but there is no real money to be made here. Thanks for pointing that out.<br /><br />Hugs, EuphoriaLady Euphoria Deathwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669240998474374914noreply@blogger.com
