Book Sale Woes

I've written,

Edited,

Cried,

Prayed,

Waited,

And

Slaved over every detail,

Is it good enough?

I've gone over it,

Again and again,

Making changes,

Adding scenes,

Spotting new mistakes,

Am I doing enough?

Sent it to all the agents,

Sometimes receiving a no,

Sometimes no answer at all.

Why isn't it enough?

Waited like a guinea pig for my editor,

Waited for a book cover,

Twice,

For I had to find another artist,

Why wasn't waiting enough?

But it's okay,

It was all edited,

The artist did a wonderful job,

And I could publish on Amazon for free.

Would it be enough?

I finally did it,

I clicked the button,

My book is forever on the web,

And people were buying it.

Would it be enough?

Months passed,

Then a year,

Sales went down,

Sometimes up,

Sometimes no sales at all.

Are my efforts enough?

Applying the suggested bids,

Paying a lot in ads,

Paying more than I'm earning.

It might not be enough.

Thought about it,

Received advice,

Went to a bookstore,

They are looking at it,

Fingers crossed,

It will be enough.
