Guest Post
Why Indie?
I started
writing poetry when I was ten. From there, writing became an outlet for
emotions and nothing more. That is, until a little over a year ago. I was
working for a boss that I hated and was bored to tears most days. To
cope, I started writing short stories to entertain myself and take my mind off
of my sleaze ball of a boss in the next room. I started to really fall
into characters that I was writing about and called my best friend to talk to
her about them. I remember saying the words: “I think I am writing a
novel.” And from then on I started treating my Crashing shorts as
such. From there a whirlwind of things started to fall into place, from
researching how many words a novel actually consisted of to how to publish.
Right when I started connecting with other indie authors, I knew that it was a
community that I wanted to be a part of. Going the traditional publishing
route definitely has it’s great points but the support that other indies gave
to me through my journey made me fall in love with the process. It’s a
lot of hard work and there were times that I didn’t think that I would be able
to actually do it, but with authors like K. Pinson (author of In Spades) and
Brittainy C. Cherry (author of The Space in Between) in my corner, I knew I had
to see my dreams through. If it hadn’t been for the indie author
community, I don’t think that Crashing Back Down would have been published and
I am so thankful that I could the support needed to share my passion with the world!
