Gennita, He jokes that I only married him for tech support. LOL! I took a quick look at it. More than anything it looks time consuming. I do think you’re right about a few folks trying it with backlist items. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Thanks, Jordan, I’d love to know what you and your live-in puter specialist think. I’m stupid, so it probably is very VERY easy. And yeah, I’d love to learn to do it because hey, with the new Harlequin announcement, I think self-publishing romances is going to be the next Big Thing . //tongue-in-cheek

Gennita, I’m going to have to take a look at the instructions. I’m hoping since I live with a computer specialist/programmer, I’ll have help if I need it. I’ll let you know what I find out. Diversity is definitely the key. And you have to enjoy it or it’s time to take a break.

I’ve been doing that too, although Amazon’s instructions to get my ms ready for their Kindle stumped me. That’s why my self-pub isn’t on Kindle. Also doing e-books and thinking of self-pub again because the numbers were pretty good for me (but nothing to cheer about either). The most important thing is to still enjoy creating and writing.

Bernard, That’s why I think it really needs to be spread out. A little of this, a little of that, etc.

I like your idea about diversifying. The rough part is always the sales venue.

Charli, Yep, also not looking for opportunities through the normal channels. Venturing outside our little romance worlds. Thanks!

Yup, I’m all about diversifying. I too have some stuff I plan to epub and maybe do as you are with the kindle.

I’m also back nose deep in screenwriting. Just finishing my latest one and will polish and query and see what happens.

You said it. Diversification, and being ready to jump on opportunity. Happy writing/editing!
