I just reached a turning point in my publishing endeavors. Not sure how it'll go from here. I could stop writing and let my head explode from the overload of ideas. I could keep writing and just let them pile up on the hard drive of my laptop computer. I could bite the bullet and try to self-publish (the first time at anything is always the scariest). Or I could start querying every publisher and lit agent who accepts upmarket fiction. I knew this day would come, but not this soon. Sigh.
Heads exploding sounds less than fun. I self-published with NeoTokyo Dead, and it has been really quiet. Most of that is down to me doing things too fast, in the wrong order, or not doing important steps. I have one manuscript at a publisher and have found that process to be glacial.

There’s a reason for their slow pace. I’m learning to appreciate that. I think my publisher was too quick to get some of my books out.
