Not like I'm having any writing problems or anything, it's just that the thing is I have three completed books and another one on the way to being finished....the only problem is that they aren't edited. See, what I need to do is do an author's edit, then I have a friend who said that she would edit them for me, and I trust her. We're doing a thing where we're going to edit each other's stories. So hopefully that will work out.
Of course after the books are completely done, I still need a name for one of them and cover-art for all of them. And then after all that is done and they're published, how in the world am I supposed to get people to buy them? I have no idea!
The Unnamed Legend hasn't sold very well, and it really stinks. I don't have all these people who would just die to be sharing it everywhere for people to buy it. I also don't have all these people who would just die to buy it. Plus a lot of the people who would love to buy it are broke. See my problem?
It's just super discouraging to have written something and be so proud of it, especially when you wrote it at age 13 and edited it at age 14 and got it published at age 15, and no one seems to appreciate it. I know, I know, stupid, but that's how stuff feels. I think I've sold 10 at the most. Yeah, that's not very much. Anyway, frustrated rant over. Goodbye.

I share the sentiment, I still have not had a whole lot of success with my book in the department of people buying it only have a few here or there. A tip i would say is to find your audience and get some free copies out to them of those that would share with others.
