I once had a business plan. I worked several days on it, refining and tweaking various goals. Then I got to the list of the books. And I’ve already finished and published most of them. I knew going into this that once I got going I would probably move forward a bit faster than expected. [...] The Indie Author. So many challenges, so much to learn.
