Publishing Independently - Loran Joly - Bog

We are urged to create content that is flawless in outward appearance.
"No typos!" "No grammar errors!" "No meandering". "Great cover design". "One billion pixels".

Technical perfection, in other words.
But when is 80% = done?
When is a Bird in the Hand worth ten or more in the Bush, too?
What about the content? And what if one doesn't have the money to or time to polish, polish, polish?
And when is the seeking of lots of book reviews akin to putting perfume on something that needs no camo? Are some people putting lipstick on what amounts to Word Salads?

Besides, what if one is prolific, too? Or is spending their Sheckles and time much more on loved ones?
Again, is there always a hard and fast rule on editing our work, including typos and grammar?
And what of getting book reviews - how many are necessary?

Indeed, are there adequate or even profoundly greater credentials for a book than the number of book reviews, or even testimonials?
Does a great-looking person who walks into a bar, need to hold a sign showing the number of book reviews they have - or the equivalent, say, in terms of how many dates they have had, or too, how much money they make? Or their job title? Or is their body language and overall demeanor their form of book reviews?

Indeed, can even the number of books published, or the courage needed to address the issues, be more important by far, than the number of reviews, or any lack of polish?
The author talks of these things, and there is a scannable QR code which will pull up a twenty-five-minute audiovisual on how his life turned out as it did, and how this made for very interesting views on publishing.
