Direction

I call myself a micro publisher, maybe it should be micro-mini publisher. Sometimes I'm even embarrassed to call myself a publisher at all. Because, the publishing business evolved out of my writing, and because I've rarely run it in a businesslike manner.

It's not that I haven't tried, but, as I sometimes say, I learned how to do it right by doing it wrong, several ways. But, also, I've had to stop the business part, or slow it down for extended periods of time in order to help family members, and to recover from injury. While I was doing other things, or doing almost nothing the business would stand still, and then slowly slide backward.

I suspect I'm not the only small publisher who has been in a similar boat, sloshing along, sometimes making headway, sometimes drifting with the tide.

One of the reasons I started this blog was to chronicle my progress in making my publishing and other business ventures more businesslike, efficient, and effective. I'm hoping that sharing my own thoughts and  experiences can help readers make headway too.
