#1: I maintain all the rights to my books.
How awful would it be if I actually had a publisher pick-up the first book, but drop the rest. The entire series would be wiped out!
#2: I get to have total control
There's not going to be an editor telling me to cut out the curse words or fade over the sex scenes.
#3: I get to design my own covers
I've become seriously addicted to photoshop and couldn't be happier about that!
#4: I can post anything I want regarding my book w/o permission
That includes deleted chapters and scenes, which, I think, will be a lot of fun for the readers.
#5: I have no deadline
That means NO PRESSURE; I can work at my own pace, which I can assure you, results in better quality.
#6: There are no expectations
I'm just an indie author writing because she wants to, not because it's her job. (Not that this is the way traditionally published writer's feel.) If I fail and everyone thinks I stink, I haven't let anyone down.
#7: I get to write my own book blurb
And if it's 175 words instead of 150 no one can get on my case about it. Muahaha...
#8: I can write the way I want
Instead of the way I'm expected. If I want to have one book be completely erotic and the next a gory slasher, I can do that.
#9: I can sell my books at an amazing price
Because I get to keep 75% or more of the royalties rather than 15%
#10: I did it on my own
And that's definitely something to be proud of.
