Synopsis

Everyone has a story to tell, whether it's a memoir of an exciting life or fictional characters in your head trying to get out. Perhaps you've thought it might be cool to write a book but always believed it was beyond your reach and ability.
It's not.
To be more precise, it doesn't have to be. All you lack is the motivation to get started, the tenacity to stay with it, and the expertise to get it finished. I can help you with the first two.
In this book I'll show you some of the rewards that might come your way by becoming an independent author. I also provide a few tips on how to overcome certain common stumbling blocks.
But this isn't a how-to book. There are many learned scholars publishing books about the craft of creative writing. This is more of a motivational book, giving you an idea of what you might expect as a midlevel author. Whether you're just thinking about writing or already have several books published, we could all use a little motivation.
Who am I? Just an old truck driver who is now off the road and living the life I've always dreamed of after just two years of writing.

Very help with great insight I really enjoyed this read! It's an honest and blunt take on how one can become a successful self-published author. Making it as an indie can be a reality of we work at it, and this book paints a picture that breaks it down just enough into a relatable process that it won......more

Way better than the first 3 books This pie e of nonfiction was written way better than the first three of Stinnett's novels. I had wondered how such great stories so poorly written could be best sellers and highly rated. This book actually told me exactly how. Now I'm armed with sone of the Amazon ma......more

Great News for Writers Wayne did a KDP webinar last week and talked about the possibilities of writing a series. He spoke briefly about this book and I bought it within the hour. I’m a writer working on a series and this little book is spot on. Writing is solitary but somewhere in S Carolina I have......more
