The Lord woke me very early this morning, at 5:30 a.m., certainly this is not my usual hours; but I could not go back to sleep.

That’s why writers often want to become traditionally published. But that’s not a good reason to pursue this publishing route. If you want your book to succeed, you will have to do the same amount of work to promote your book whether you self-publish or traditionally publish.”
