I love writing, and I love sharing my writing with people, but I've been feeling some of those self-publishing blues lately.

When you work by yourself, the only person you have to encourage you is yourself, and without outside encouragement, I feel my motivation dry up. I want people to tell me their thoughts about my story--good or bad, but I don't know how to get people to engage with it. I'm not a marketing genius, and there is only so much those self-taught internet schools can do. So far, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to, but I haven't hit my "lucky break" yet and gotten eyes on my books.

I released volume 2 of Risqué Fae today, and I've only seen 3 purchases so far. It's better than none, but my reach isn't going as far as I would like. I'm sort of stuck now, since I'm uncertain if I should carry on and write more of the story, or if I need to change things up.

I also finished writing volume 3 today, and it's off being edited, so I've reached a lull in my writing schedule.

I won't let the imposture syndrome get to me just yet, but here's hoping I'll see some progress on the sales front! I've had a rough week (a rough 6 months, actually), and I'd love to have a win.

Onward and upward!
