When I started off the day I wasn’t feeling insecure
about anything. In fact I felt good, as if I was on top of the world.
Fast-forward a few more hours and I find myself hyperventilating. Why? Because I
am trying to get things in place if I want to self-publish (next year
hopefully).
That doesn’t sound so bad? Well, I never thought of
me, self-publishing my work, as a small business. All businesses need a business plan
and I did one in college as an assignment, but I have no idea how to do one now
and then I have to think of what type of business I will be, an enterprise, LLC
and so forth and then what will my business be named?
It is all getting so real and I have taken up the
bad habit of procrastinating. My editing has slowed down too. Everytime I look
at my manuscript I worry about sorting out all the tax info for my small business.
I know this is really unrealistic and immature, but I thought I could just get
my book ready and publish, ignoring the whole small business thing all together. Now there are so many other things to consider and I
feel like I am in over my head. My problem is that I over think things sometimes.
How are you doing? Please, I hope you are doing much
better than me, if not, I am sending you plenty of virtual hugs.
The Insecure Writers Support Group was created by
the wonderfully talented Mr. Alex J Cavanaugh, so that writers can share the
insecurities they have with each other and/or encourage others who need support
with their insecurities. You can visit Alex Here, or if you want to join us in
discussing our insecurities on the first Wednesday of each month, you are
