Most writers can’t figure out why they are compelled to write. They are just driven to write. Sometimes it can fade out when the rush of everyday life takes over but it comes back before long. Publishers only accept a handful of submissions depending on the ‘brand’ that they are maintaining. So self publishing makes a lot of sense. However, before stepping into it, you have to decide what you want out of your writing career: i) Money ii) The satisfaction of being published iii) The independence to make your decisions regarding your work. For me, a lot of weight was carried by the fact that I could make all the decisions regarding my book myself. I can choose how it looks, what character gets to stay in the book and whether to write an epilogue or not. That's why I chose to become an indie author.

I can create worlds! I can fill those worlds with characters of my choosing and shape their outcomes. What could be better?
