What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
I didn't even have to think about my answer. If I couldn't fail, I'd be a full-time author. But what would that mean?
First off, I'd have to fully replace my current job and benefits. I've got other people depending on me and I can't let them down. Or maybe it would be better to say that I'm not willing to risk letting them down. Then I need extra on top of that for some long-term financial needs.
Second, I want to be able to maintain my status as an indie author. I like the freedom to write what I
want to write and to control my own prices. Although I don't necessarily enjoy the business aspects of being an indie, I like the control being an indie provides.
Third, I'm going to need an full-time editor. One who can help me get books released faster. I don't think I can accomplish my goal when I'm only releasing one or two books a year. And if I had someone else helping with editing, I could write faster!
And of course, I'd want to make a best seller list or two. Or three. I'd also have to go to more reader/author events. I don't mind traveling, so that would be fine.
So, for those of you that are already full-time authors, what have I missed?
Now let's hop over and see what the other authors would do.
