What do you do with your original writing?

And it was #$@! just to try and sync the thing with my OS. Aside from two titles I couldn't get to download I dealt with my purchases. You're gonna have to really hit me in the special interests or blorbos now to ever get me to buy another title.

It was enough to make me think about my Audible books too. With all I have going on it takes me awhile to get thru some of them, I only have 4, but I did buy a CD of the most important one (the only one I could) and I have back up of another.

So, is your book al text or will it have pictures? What is it about?

Remember that sci-fi drama with clones I started last fall? That's the one I'm thinking about publishing. I will probably draw the cover art myself, but it's all text. I've been really anxious about finishing it without a plan for what to do with it after. Now that I have a vague plan, hopefully I can get through the last few chapters.

Since I graduated I've never really had a plan for my writing, except for that short time around the turn of the century that went the way of my career back then. I've looked at my writing now as making sure the stories get out so they don't die inside of me.

I think you'll get thru it just fine. If you want to write it someone out there wants to read it.

I hope so. But that hasn't been my personal experience.

I tried linking one of my adopted click pets here, but the board wouldn't let me. :/

In a way you have to put it up in the right place, the right social media place with the right audience, someone will like it. Still the first steps are to write what you want to write so that it pleases you, and that you would want to read.

But if you are having difficulty finding an audience there might be structural problems with the story- Do the sentences make sense? Is it grammatically working? Can most people understand it? I know some of those things took me awhile to work on.
