In my opinion your article is concise , blunt, and yet extremely accessible. It is an ideal form of writing for what you are trying to achieve and for that which gives you pleasure. Well done. Persistence overcomes talent every time. You have obviously aligned passion and pursuit into profit. I shall check your other posts. The joy in your commitment is infectious.

Hi Michael, I had a good peruse of your page. Obviously an hour is not enough as there is a plethora of good info there.

As per your question... yes I am attempting to make a living writing. I initially started when KDP first launched in 2010 ish, but was not very focused. I launched five books in a little over a month and then opened a hotel in Spain. So much for focused book marketing or building an audience to establish an online presence. I currently have 9 completed novels to launch, but as I have not built an audience/ email list I swim in a quandary. I live in Tokyo.

I will continue to follow your page you seem f=very forthcoming with your knowledge, many are thankful for that.
