But Debbie, your ranks and sales are superb – with your proven record I bet a publisher (especially one of the digital-first ones… HQ, Bookouture, Canelo) would snap you up. On the other hand, you are doing so well on your own, perhaps there is no need for you to go after a more traditional deal…
I am currently at the X-factor stage of my new project and am already casting the Hollywood movie, in my head 😀
Yes, what would we do without chocolate?! xx

Thanks Carol – glad I’m not the only sinful one!

Particularly identify with the confidence crisis, tripled by being an independent author – feelings of “never being good enough” to have been taken on by an agent or publisher (I don’t submit any more because it would add to the confidence crisis!). Likewise with doubting a Work In Progress which usually happens just as I’m bombing towards the end (as is the case right now!). As for the negative reviews, they make me shake and question what the heck I’m doing embarrassing myself putting my ‘dreadful’ novels *out there*. Chocolate is the comfort blanket! xx
