JOURNAL 189 - Jan. 14/07

The Expert? - I make no claims of knowing much about birds, but I am learning (almost as fast as I am forgetting), and I am happy to share any information I have. The same is true regarding self-publishing. I'm no expert, but I did choose to self-publish instead of going with an established publisher. I wanted the challenge of writing, editing, designing, producing, and marketing my own book, and I wanted to do it my way. Admittedly, it was a gamble, but I did succeed, and there is no greater feeling of satisfaction than to take an improbable idea and nurture it into a creative success. As a diversion from some of the chores I'm supposed to be doing, I decided to share some of my self-publishing knowledge with you. Feel free to contact me if you wish to have any points clarified.
