I've reached the point of no return. Surely I am not the only frustrated writer out there...
About a month ago, I decided to go back and revise all 102 of my self-published books because I cannot tolerate any errors. I am also hoping to get an article published in the journal Indiana Libraries. The guest editor said that they are most likely going to publish my article on intellectual freedom in this fall's special edition. Since I included a short bio. along with my submission, I feel as if I have to go back and revise all my books (even the ones to which only I have access) because I mentioned the fact that people can access my books through http://www.lulu.com/ and http://www.amazon.com/. In the rare event that any library would want to purchase any of my books for their collection, I want to make sure that the print is large enough and that the books are free of errors. (I do not have the luxury of an editor or a proofreader.)
I have been writing for approximately sixteen years, and I've tried to stop several times, all to no avail. And though my work has been rejected before, I, apparently, am not the type to give up so easily. But with me having only proofread about 60 of my 102 books in four weeks,
(while putting many other things on hold) I am seriously starting to question my sanity ;) LOL
I think it is amazing that you have written that many books! Keep writing and hold onto your dreams.
