I need to get something… more out of what I’m writing right now. I have, obviously, a lot of work going right now, and not much use for the finished project. When I finish a story, poem, song, or miscellaneous other work, it either goes into a “Writing” folder, or gets posted here. Providing my few readers with entertainment is rewarding in it’s own way, but I would like to get something more out of the finished products. What I’m thinking about right now is Self Publishing, or maybe contacting some Agents and trying to get a book of shorts that I have mostly completed (I would have it completed by the time I bother contacting anyone) published. What I’m looking for is suggestions and opinions on either process, as well as maybe some alternatives. Thoughts?
