As a Proud Literary and Art Self-Publisher....This Makes Me Very Happy

I'm very happy to read about the current explosion in self-publishing.

I helped revitalize that trend, just as I did anime, manga, and online video.

I don't normally admit to being such a trendsetter. But I noticed that too.

Ever since I started self-publishing online, the number of self-published books and comics on the market has shot up into the massive numbers. Some of these books even have TV commercials and press coverage. It's not small deal. While my books themselves don't sell tons of copies in and of themselves, there's no denying I've helped popularize it. My persona online and on TV in and of itself has helped sell almost any cause I choose to promote. And I've decided to promote my self-publishing efforts. It worked on SOME level. Self-publishing is more mainstream now than ever before.

I can't speak for profits,  but I can DEFINITELY speak for popularization of the medium.
