Sometimes thinking and weighing is just a lofty way to procrastinate. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-81791668913667543442011-04-11T20:02:36.960-05:002011-04-11T20:02:36.960-05:00Such a tough decision.

She identifies a few things why she *thinks* she succeeded with self-publishing to such an amazing degree - but in the end, nobody really knows for sure why some really good books take off and some don't.
