I've read Held for Ransom, ChickenHawk and have been keeping up with MTF's thread. Self-publishing is something I was leaning towards anyway. In fact that's how I stumbled on the Fastlane and MJ's book in the first place.
I've failed at many ventures before, a lot of it was because I placed doing what I loved above what the market wanted. My mistake. Had to learn the hard way I guess.
Right now, I'm a soldier in the us army. In a lot of ways this kills my ability to fastlane. From months in the field to deployments, to having my fastlane sidetracked at a moments notice. Also no matter how much money I make, my time will always be the Army's time.
I have about 8 months left on my contract. In that 8 months I want to get up to at least $1k a month writing. I just got back from a deployment so I'm not due for another any time soon.
I'm posting this thread as a reminder and a way to hold myself accountable for my goals. I hope I can inspire or help someone else realize their goals as well.
Yesterday I sent my first book to my editor. It's about 30k words. She should have it returned by the end of the week. I've been writing about 2k words per day and 10k on weekends. I've also got my cover started. (I have a friend who is AMAZING at graphic design) Right now that's where I am.
I'll keep you posted.
