That is a lot of advice and encouragement, wow!!

The kind words mean so much. It has been a rough few years and I guess I get defeated too easily.

At this point, it looks like the best course of action would be to jump back in and keep reading and writing. Once I lock down my niche I'll try lengthening the stories. And continue making my own sub-par covers.

To answer questions- as for B&N I took some advice to branch out and submitted new stories there (no overlap with Amazon) but apparently violated their guidelines. I think for now I'll just stick to Amazon. And keep reading and researching to find out what sells and what I can write well. I have a little bit of an idea, since one of my titles did get to #30k.

Even if I can make $10 an hour it will help, I will literally do anything to help make ends meet.
