Where will this Self-publishing Journey Take Me?

I am up middle of the night, or early morning, depending on how you look at it. 😉 I have lately been burning the midnight oil. During my school years, I pulled some all-nighters, so am used to be a night watchman. The good thing is that you could stay awake by drinking tea! 🙂

Up late in the middle of the night, 🤔 thinking 💭 about my tea ☕ book series. Drinking Matcha 🍵 green powder tea. I will cover this kind of tea in book number 4. I am a bit stressed 😩 out, trying to get all the 🦆 ducks in a row for the first forthcoming book on black tea, but it will be a great 👍 learning experience for the upcoming 📚 books… 😎✍🎙

I am getting closer to the publishing date, and I am thinking about the next step of the self-publishing journey: marketing. And at the same time, my mind is going back and forth between planning for the next book on (specialty black teas), and how to improve the writing process of the second book…

I did a search on the keyword, “self-publishing” and stumbled upon the following:

• Carl-Johan Forssen Ehrlin, a Role Model for Self-Publishing – The New York Times
• For me, traditional publishing means poverty. But self-publish? No way – The Guardian
• Here’s How Digital Self-Publishing Has Changed Over The Last 3 Years – Forbes
• Start Here: How to Self-Publish Your Book – Jane Friedman

Thanks to the web search, I ended up buying the Kindle edition of Jane Friedman’s book, Publishing 101: A First-Time Author’s Guide to Getting Published, Marketing and Promoting Your Book, and Building a Successful Career.
