Feel free to ask questions to the experienced writers in the thread. A little help goes a long way when it comes to indie publishing.
Later on I will update the thread/this post with some important info about self-publishing and links to some sites you can check out.
For now thought. Let the writing begin!

I will start things off with a paragraph from my first novel. Still very much a WIP.
“We had become the masters and kings of Earth. We had conquered disease, war and famine. The flag of our race stood firmly planted on the highest mountain of our home world. We stood there, on the highest peak, together. We watched as humankind flourished and lived together in peace. A few of those that stood on that peak were content with what they saw, some were not. As ever, those that were not content wanted more, their hearts needed more. They looked to the stars and saw the infinite potential hidden between them. They saw the resources and treasures just waiting to be plundered, and their hearts grew covetous. We should have considered the consequences of living and building among the stars. But we were too ignorant and too greedy. Our reach always exceeded our grasp. For in the darkness of the void an entity had been waiting for centuries, waiting for something exactly like our race to sink its teeth into.†- C.Smit WIP unnamed debut novel. Unedited.
