Ignore the trade-pub narratives about how little success indies enjoy.

More and more of my audio fans are asking for audiobook versions - files without the intro/outro/etc that go into the podcasts. More and more want them from Audible.

I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

Ignore the trade-pub narratives about how little success indies enjoy.

Coffee takes on an almost ritualistic meaning. I learned that from being on hurricane patrol for a year in the North Atlantic.

Stop aspiring. Start doing.

I credit Podiobooks and the free audio podcasts for helping me develop the audience I needed when I started selling my books in text forms.
