For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

What's Your Biggest Challenge with Your Book?

I'd be interested to learn what authors/publishers on this network think their biggest challenges are with their book. I wonder if there's any common, pervasive challenge we all face.

As my blog entries for today indicate, once again I am forced to push everything back while I tackle some serious issues. Is it possible to write TOO much? LOL. I'm having a ball with writing and editing but I have to send these things to the printer soon, or everything else will also have to be delayed. I'm only one person (weep, wail). Sometimes I expect too much of myself. I don't like having to commit to any kind of deadline. it used to be I could, but not anymore. Too many distractions, logistical and marketing problems, etc. I don't see readers smashing down the door looking for my books either, but I don't plan on returning to The Site Which Shall Not Be Named anytime soon.

Right now the challenge I face is finding good information on the web. Many websites are selling something. Many websites I feel like I'm just getting lost in a sea of writers. Some good ones I've found are Booksie, Bookdaily, Public Bookshelf.
