Yes, I thought about starting a Patreon once and still haven't done it because so much about it makes me uncomfortable I am extremely leery about creating a direct financial relationship with "my fans", with the concurrent perceived obligations
If you don't get a deal, you are STILL better off not self-pubbing You are better off doing ANYTHING than self-pubbing, like spending that time working at Arby's

That's very cruel and harsh but it's true from a numbers perspective Not writing the book at all makes you zero dollars, while self-pubbing will almost certainly make you a quite high negative number of dollars (especially if you think your own time has value)

That's a blanket statement and it's not completely true but if you've looked at the self-pub ecosystem it's not encouraging Like people who successfully play the self-pub game are NOT passionate people who just have a story to tell They treat it like a business

Well, yes, but if you have the itch to create, you may be able to find a tiny audience that loves what you do. It's just not something that you're going to be able to support yourself doing, in our current society. Which sucks, frankly! I think everyone should be able to Do Art.
