#WritersCoffeeClub 9. What motivates you to keep going when sales are low?
Heh, when aren't sales low?
I write some damn good stories (based on reader feedback) but am shit at marketing them and getting the word out.
The truth is, I can't stop. I tried for years to stop writing, before self publishing was really feasible. The stories kept leaking out of me. And if I'm going to write anyway, I figure I might as well put them out there for other people to enjoy.
Just... would be nice to get a few more eyes on my work, you know?
