Frustration!

I am feeling anxious. I want to proceed with self-publishing but what if I hear from that publisher that she wants a full request. It would be so much better if she wanted to publish my book than doing it myself. I think that my problem is the waiting. I hate waiting. I want to be doing something but there is nothing to do but wait. I keep hoping that if I keep making plans to self publish then she will come through with a full request and then an offer. That would be the dream.

The fact is that only 1% of books written get a traditional contract. That is why I’m looking into self-publishing. I want to get my work out there and if that is the only way to do it then so be it. But, if she comes through with an offer I know I would jump at it. I know that I could make more money self-publishing but I would feel more confidant knowing that someone else believed in my work enough to back it up too.

I know that I may be just dreaming to think that I could get a traditional contract but right now I need to wait anyways. I need to get some things in order before I can proceed with self-publishing. I want to do something before hand. But, there is always a chance that that publisher could come through. I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed until I have things in order. Then I will take steps toward self-publishing until I hear from her. Until then, Happy Reading!
