I am about to do something very stupid – and equally idealistic.

One of my gripes with self-publishing is the available platforms, with the largest one being my absolute definition of corporate evil.
And with what is happening in the world – I am going to rebel in what little ways I can – and that means excluding this platform from my launch, choosing the smaller, one.

That might affect my numbers. It WILL mess up my statistics, as I can’t compare apples and oranges.
But I am still going to do it.

Since the platform-that-shall-not-be-named is also very popular, I am considering offering purchases in their format directly from my website to see if that has a market – but the decision to exclude it does wreac havoc on my initial market plan.

Still; politics isn’t optional, and I have always been too hard headed, so I am going to do it.
Numbers be damned. I’ll find a way to make it work.
