I have to admit that I love the freedom to write my stories the way I see them in my head. I love not having to justify why a certain scene or chapter should work out a certain way. I like picking out my own covers, my own titles, etc.

However, there are some down sides. I dislike having to edit on my own - I always seem to miss something no matter how many times I read it. I also dislike the whole self-promotion thing that is part and parcel of being an indie writer. It makes me uncomfortable to try and justify why people should read my book over any other...

Oh well. Writing is still so worth it!
