In the interest of pursuing the dream of being a published author, I have been offered an exceptional opportunity. A gentleman and a scholar with a wicked sense of humor, JG, has taken it upon himself to team up with me. That way, we can support one another. Now, granted, I suspect this will be something of a lopsided relationship, but that just provides all the more impetus to exert myself to the fullest. My side of this relationship is to perform the research and write as many ideas as possible. The results of the research will provide information in directing my authoring efforts. The idea being to select a target audience and then connect the buyer to the seller. Right now, I am just going to take notes on what I learn from the research and track the plot ideas. I hope to publish those notes and ideas down the road. In return for JG's efforts, I am going to delve even deeper into my understanding of the self-publishing process. It may have changed since I made my first attempt, but I doubt it has been by much. The first two things I found in my research is that (as expected) it has never been easier to be an independent author and (unexpectedly) the income from independent authorship has been steadily increasing over the last months and years.
And so the sail are lashed down, and the men are made read. Shore leave has been cancelled. It is time to make ready. Too long has the Authorship been an easy target for barnacles. The time is now.
