A great self-publishing success story

[MJ DeMarco]

Texas woman self-publishes, hits best-seller lists

What's even better is the woman was able to see a caption of her life in time, posted on MySpace, how she almost talked herself out of trying.

On a recent blog post Hoover shared with her readers what she called "a really depressing blast from the past" — a MySpace post from 2006 she recently came across in which she writes that although she's certain she "was born to write a book," she believes that she never will. She writes that she's researched whether it would be worth it to even try and decided that with the low odds of ever getting a publisher or being able to support herself writing, she shouldn't even try.
She writes on her blog, "Good thing I didn't listen to myself. It also says a helluva a lot about how much the publishing industry has changed."
