We know by now that there are different types of authors. And for each type of author, a different strategy works well. Some sit down with a good glass of wine and write only when they're inspired. Others are more disciplined and structured, setting aside a specific time each day to write, for example. I'm someone who needs a little pressure to function. I know that by now, and that's why I also make sure that I create framework conditions that work for me personally. As long as you don't get a bad feeling about it, I think that's perfectly fine.

You just have to be able to assess yourself and your own abilities and then draw the right conclusions. For example, I'm now very sure that I'll have my first book published by Novum Publishing and won't try the self-publishing route. That might work for many people, but it would probably cost me more money and time than going straight to an experienced service publisher.
