- This is what I've been working on for the last few years.
Here's a quick overview video of how I went about Self Publishing, with a few tidbits about the reality of self publishing, and how selling books works.
Many things have been learned, but I have a way to go.

Congratulations old friend. I knew your time and effort would lead you to opportunities and future success.
Congrats Trip on your book selling thousands.
Looking good man! Great video, hearing the insight about self publishing was very interesting. Do you feel like all the optimization going into numbers also strip away the fun of creativity? If it's something you can only start to care more about once successful, won't it become harder to return to?
Regarding the creativity, for me, part of the fun is shaping a concept I have into a marketable story. This applies mostly to Volume 1 of a series. At Volume 4, I can start doing a more challenging story safely.
Regarding being hard to come back to, I keep relatively good notes. All my series usually have a year between installments, so generally, the "harder to return to" challenge is equivalent for all of them.
The one series I will probably not come back to, ever, will definitely be harder two years from now, buuuut all the thoughts I had about its future are already jotted down. I've just stopped thinking about it. It's kind of frozen in time in that sense.
@@TriplLLL Hmmm I see, it sounded worrying, because for example, I have the Spy x Family mangaka situation in the back of my head, quote "Tatsuya Endo admits he feels no attachment to Anya or the Forger family because they were never what he wanted to draw, but what the world wanted to see". It sounds like a very delicate balance between the two to a writer. But as long as you feel like you're having fun there is nothing to worry about. Keep blessing the world with your creation :)
