An exciting bit of research is going on. Learning about setting up my own publishing company. There are so many advantages, not the least of which is learning to complete the work necessary to bring the Authorship into port with her hulls filled with gold bullion. There are so many steps involved. The administrative part of this is the Assumed Business Name (ABN), PO Box, Bank Account, Copyright, and ISBN. And that's the initial administrative details. There is also the deeper and more important the planning details: business plan, marketing plan, legal paperwork, etc. This is exciting! And amid all of this, developing a variety of plots to hit the target market as gleaned from the Amazon sales numbers. And speaking of Amazon, I am delving into their recommendations for marketing a book. Need to have as many ideas as possible.

As things stand, this is the time!
