- In 1-2 days, I should hear whether they've approved the book for eligibility
- Then they submit it to a "campaign" where I see how many upvotes I get.
- At the end, if the book gets enough votes, it gets published.

Why this process? Because it's vetted. Self-publishing otherwise seems like throwing the book on the sea and hoping it floats. If it comes to that, I don't know if I can do it. I don't dream of being a NYT bestselling author. I dream of someone reading my book and liking it.
Face it, though, I'm afraid of rejection again. I'm confident that I write well, but wonder if my ideas are publishable or whether I can stand up to a popular vote. I've never been popular, after all.
The book may be too gentle for people who read things like "The Meth Chronicles" and vampire stories. I'm a flower child at heart. I believe in the Peaceable Kingdom and the strength of small groups to change the world. I love people in both the general and specific sense.
I'm not going to beg you to support me on Kindle Scout if I get that far. But I want you to think about it, because it's my dream. And please, please, any support you can give me (preferably something that reaches my eyes or ears) would make me feel better about the process.
