Self-Publishing Resources

Yesterday I sat down and began making lists. I love lists. They're calm and soothing and they keep my head from exploding. There's just so much to consider and so much more to do. After getting out there and reading everything I could get my hands on. I still very much feel that there's a lot to learn.

And I'm going to drag you right along with me. A couple of people have asked me to blog about the process, and besides I hope that writing about it will actually help me wrap my head around it.

Because right now, there's always something new to learn or look into or research. I can't fit it all into place in my head yet, which makes it hard to write about.

So, as much as I want to whip out a blog post on how I'm totally on top of the subject... Well, I'm not. I'm learning, though, and I've found some resources to share! These are just a few, I'll be posting more later. Also, I highly recommend the blogs of both Katie Salidas and Victorine Lieske!
