Yes, I am saying something here that I always say. YOU have control of your career. YOU are the person in charge. Yes I fully understand that we cannot control the buyer's habits. Yes, I fully understand we personally do not have control over the distribution of books. But you do have control of what you want to do with your writing.
I was working with a couple of my writers this weekend and they were all taking charge of their own careers. One was a bit frustrated that due to release times, there would be a huge gap in her book releases. What is she doing? She takes that mixed approach and is releasing a few smaller projects digitally with a company we have worked with in the past. Simple, but she was in charge.
A second is looking to expand into another genre. The current genre she is writing in is a slowing down a bit She what did she do? She picked up another project she had started in another genre and began work on that.
A final author decided to look to a different time era for her historical writing.
As you can see, this is not that difficult. Don't just sit there and blame other people. Take charge.
And yes, this also applies to everything else in your life. Not happy with the country right now? Then get YOUR butt out there and VOTE!!!! You make a change,
