So when I first came to the FLF I started out with a couple ideas for a Fastlane in mind, one of which being self publishing. I chose this because writing comes as a natural talent for me. However, my confidence faltered, and I soon let my self pub ambitions fall to the wayside. Several months later, I'm returning to this idea...still nervous, but at least willing and ready to move forward. As the saying goes, it doesn't matter how slow the pace, as long as you don't stop moving.
A bit on my writing background, I've been in SEO/internet marketing for the past six years or so. Mostly writing for low pay and not enough recognition. I've always used my writing as a way to just get by. For the past few years, it's been my full time job. In the past couple years I've gotten into social media marketing. Right now I work part time for a start up as a social media manager. So I have a pretty solid background in online marketing.
Creative writing is something I've been neglecting, though I used to love it. I've mostly done poetry, and I've been published a few times. I've also done spoken word performances...even been on the radio. I love my creative side, and I look forward to channeling it into this venture.
On the other side of the coin, I foresee a lot of research in my future as far as market research and devising a formula for producing great quality books at a good pace. A lot of people in this forum have gone before me in those areas, so I will be reading threads and seeing what works for other people.
So...wish me luck! Though I will be doing plenty to make my own luck.
