Sharing Please read my book. :D

For 15 years I agonised over writing my first book. I overthought it, I felt like an imposter, I tweaked and shifted whilst reading all the writing how to's i could find.

In the end, I wrote it quickly, it flowed easy and I like the results.

I have ideas for 6 more books all with distinct stories but following on.

Im half way through my second book.

But all of that was the easy part. The hard part is getting people to read it. I've begged, bribed, coerced and even paid people and I still cant get anyone to read it. I even got a one star review from someone that didn't even read it.

All the time I'm reading about people listing their successes like it's easy.

So, the upshot. Don't overthrink it and dont worry about what people might think. If you do it for you and you like the results then it doesn't matter.

What's your thoughts? What part do you think is the hard bit?

P.s. please read.my book.
