In the quiet shadows of my thoughts, I reflect on the journey of being an indie author. Each word I penned felt like a whisper lost in an empty room, where dreams collide with the weight of solitude. Publishing my first book should have been a moment of triumph, yet the echoes of disappointment linger. The struggle to carve my path in a world that often overlooks the indie spirit leaves me feeling unseen, unheard. The larger skill set required feels like a heavy burden, and as I stand alone, I wonder if my voice will ever truly matter. 💔 #IndieAuthor #PublishingJourney #Solitude #Heartbreak #WritingCommunity
