IWSG May 2026

I…am learning a lot, this go around of self-publishing.

This is my current mantra.

I am learning.

No one is perfect. Therefore, no product of human labor will be perfect.

Even the pyramids are off by a millimeter or two.

I guess I just wasn’t expecting that writing a coherent story would be the easiest part of this process. The sheer amount of different things I have to keep track of is maddening. Everytime I think I get a process down, I find five more that have to be created and documented in detail because my brain is not going to remember all that.

I feel like I’m creating detailed SOP’s for when my kids start self-publishing.

No. This entire summer is going to be about creating the SOP for my self-publishing, just so I can have a little flip book with each page only having one task.

    Some people are very good at writing. Some people are good at the business side of publishing. Unfortunately, those who self-publish must be good at both.

    (I’m good at neither, so don’t listen to anything I say.)
