I have one book finished, second one pretty much done, working on the third one when time allows it and imagination kicks in. I self-published on Amazon, twice, but because I have a full-time job and the attention span of a chipmunk, I don't really have the time or the patience to do social media marketing. The finished book is currently delisted because I thought putting it on Patreon would be a better idea since it gives you more royalties, and that has gone nowhere, unexpectedly.
Deep down I don't really want to make money with my story, I just want other people to read it and tell me they enjoyed it. Or not, but I'm not changing the story or the characters for anyone's sake. It's not a masterpiece or anything of the sort and I'm well aware of that, but I do love it, for all that's worth.
I guess the question I am asking is should I try sending it to publishers, or if I should really make an effort to self-publish. The thread has given me some good pointers about where and how to start that endeavor, it's just daunting.
Sorry for the rambling.
