I got the idea for my novel, Relations, from traveling a lot around the U.S., Canada and other areas for my job. It reminded me of a circus, setting up and breaking down the conference rooms and training rooms and watching from the wings so to speak, while the instructors did their thing. One day I was daydreaming about it and my main protagonist, Frank Ellis, was born. Instead of being an instructor, he morphed into a financial consultant.

Don't let naysayers sway you; however, listen to constructive criticism, for example, tips on proofreading, editing, etc. Sometimes you have to spend money, even if you are self-publishing. If you feel that your work is worth it, you must invest in the time and money to get it to a professional level. Don't think that you can just fling it out there and damn the critics.
