I stressed over writing. Perfection. Years. Finally decided
   F'it. Take what you got, how it is, publish. So I did a time
   challenge - learn to publish and do it as fast as possible.

   1.5 hrs for 1st book, 45 minutes for the second. I had the stuff
   already. One was a database DUMP. That's all it is. Messy as
   hell. The other was just a quick table of contents and a few
   select bits that I liked at the time. Just had to sort of format
   it for Kindle using whatever free software I could find (it's
   all text, just a matter of translating from one format to
   another)... and just get it done.

   I gave myself 20 minutes to write the book and the rest for
   publishing. It was copying/pasting in my case (or doing an
   Access database dump and formatting minimally)

   Once they were up there... poorly formatted, badly put
   together... I could relax. I can legitimately say I am an
   Author, because I am and I didn't get the heart-wrenching part
   of it.

   [I didn't want to go through my heart getting shredded by
   publisher problems and stuff... or having the first books not
   sell after all my hard work].

   Then, when I'm FINALLY done collecting everything for THE BOOK
   (or the family of books), I know the process. I can do it. The
   part that's left?

   Marketing and Advertising and lots of self-promotion.

   Since I'm not ready for that step, at least I know how to do the
   other steps. Lots of wasted years stressing out.
