How many books are to many?
Hi everyone, Iāve just published my first book, a Social-Emotional Learning story for children ages 4ā8, though Iāve been surprised to hear from readers well into their teens who connected with it too. Iām 60 and very new to the writing community, very late by some standards, but very on time by others. I also live with dysgraphia, which means writing has never come easily for me in a technical sense, but ideas and stories have always come in abundance. For years they stayed in my head. Recently, something opened, and now they donāt seem to stop. Iām finding myself thinking in chapters, scenes, and entire books throughout the day, and Iāve started writing daily because not doing so feels harder than doing it. What Iām trying to understand now, and would really value insight on, is pacing. Not āhow many books in total,ā but how often is healthy or sustainable to self-publish? How do you balance momentum with craft, especially when the ideas keep coming? Iām grateful to be here and looking forward to learning from those further along the path.
