Quickly

This is a short one.

A few people, with the best of intentions, have reached out to me about self-publishing, asking why I don't take my old stories and self-publish my own anthologies, why I don't publish my unloved novels/novellas on my own, give my magnum opus monster dictionary a real home, things like that.

I do appreciate everyone's concern for my publishing future, and appreciate what you are suggesting and know that you mean well.

However...

I do not and will not self-publish.

I will not explain my reasoning as it often leads to abusive and obnoxious discourse, and you do you. I am not going to try to change anyone else's mind. I have my own opinions and reasons for those opinions, and that is all that matters.

But, note:

I do not and will not self-publish.

Not you. I. Me.

So, thanks for your concern and your suggestions, but, really, please do not waste our (your and my) time.
