"if you’re willing to put in incredible amounts of work, anything is possible." That's my philosohy too Megan. This is great advice for writers who want to strectch out. If becoming an author is their desire, Amazon is certainly the place to do it. I've self published over a dozen books that sell on Amazon (under various pen names). The revenue trickles in every month, and while I rarely pay attention to it, it tends to add up when I'm not watching. Next year, I think I plan to do a lot more, now that I'm armed with more KDP knowledge. Thanks for your story. :-)
