Great piece. I’d always been told one must go the traditional route to be a “real” writer…I see more and more self publishing. As I am getting closer to my goal, I’m thinking of self publishing rather than go through all the trouble of publishing companies. They accuse self publishers of being lazy; however, it takes a lot of work to get your words ready for digital publishing as well.

It used to be that there was a lot of stigmatism attached to self-publishing and the so-called “vanity” publishing (i.e. paying someone else to publish you). As the world becomes more and more computer-oriented, online and POD (pay on demand) self-publishing are entering into their own. I’m glad…and glad you liked the post, suzi.
