Thankfully, I haven't experience that, but I had a couple episodes of having scenes spliced and dice and not put back together properly.<br /><br />Continue to enjoy, Sheena!<br /><br />Nutschell, like you, I did a lot of scoping out of the landscape before I made the decision.<br /><br />So true, Diane.<br /><br />Rachel, I think that's been the worst part for me. Even after publishing, I read the books again, just in case. No matter how small I MUST go back in and fix those errors. I'm thinking that it's good to wait a while for print, by which time all the errors have been caught. My approach now is to make some money on the ebook to subsidize the print version.<br /><br />I'm enjoying that too, Emily.<br /><br />Trust me, Deniz, it makes life a LOT easier. <br /><br />Hey, Donna. The only downside is all the other stuff that also must get done and won't do itself.<br /><br />J.R., true that. I have stuff that's left undone for way too long. I tell myself that I'm only one body and I'll get to it eventually.<br /><br />Rinelle, thanks for visiting. The ability to change stuff without being a bother to someone else is why I learned how to do the formatting myself. I didn't think I'd be able to do it, but it wasn't hard to learn.<br /><br />Julie, thanks for coming by. I like learning new things and some books I don't think I'll be able to sell traditionally (like Distraction) so that helped me make the decision. It's been well worth it. <br /><br /><br /><br />J.L.

I love the freedom to make changes to my books if I spot a typo (without having to wait for someone else to do it), change a description or cover if need be, and have it all be my own concept. Once I found out more about indie publishing (and that trad pub doesn't market for you anymore), I didn't consider any other way of publishing my books.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rinellegrey.com" rel="nofollow">Rinelle Grey</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651744055513494283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-26867446088878788542013-06-12T23:58:07.834-05:002013-06-12T23:58:07.834-05:00Complete control is definitely a plus of the indie...Complete control is definitely a plus of the indie life!

The truth is it never even occurred to me to do anything else. I'm a bit of a rebel at heart and between the flexibility and opportunities to direct my own destiny with self-publishing, I knew this was the only path that made sense for me.
