Hi, I have been writing my story for 5 years. You see, its a story I need to tell. I am currently a teenager with hopes and aspirations to publish my story and have gone down the route of writing a novel on it. 40,000 words. I know it isn't much for a novel but its a lot for a teenager. I have the story written down to its bare bones and lots of dialogue but its not really flowing and I need to restructure the whole thing. I would really just like some advice and someone to understand how hard it actually is.
I have managed to publish five books with KDP and about to add another. I have had a few sales but nothing to get excited about. I am now looking seriously into promotion. Has anyone experience of this, using the KDP or any other source? I haven't found the KDP site very helpful in understanding what is actually required and how it works.
I'm the first to admit that I never do New Year resolutions. It's not that I lack willpower; I just think life can be tricky enough without me adding even more expectations. 2023 is the year I take it easy on myself.
I want to focus on only the things that I can control. The words. So my writing resolution for 2023 is to write about the things that interest me most. No following trends. Just writing from the heart and enjoying it. Because if I'm not enjoying it then it's likely no one else will!
