I was afraid to write my first eBook.
No lie.
126 eBooks ago I piddled in my self-publishing pants.
But before I became a self-publishing machine on Amazon I self-published an eBook on a platform not too well know.
Like it or not, readers really do judge a book by its cover.

I scanned one of my 126 eBooks recently.

I recall going bonkers, trying to shift my thoughts when I seemed to be struggling with my blog many moons ago.
