I'm personally living that Henry Darger lifestyle

>Live in near isolation with very few to no friends or relations
>Work a simple, quiet wageslave job day in and day out, making just enough to live off of and having very little disposable income
>Since I don't have any social obligations outside of work, I spend the rest of my time reading, writing, drawing, studying, researching, and sleeping
>slowly building my magnum opus of a fictional world with tons of short stories and artwork which will probably never see the light of day (and if it does, nobody will read it anyways)

Congrats, Anon!

Been working on some fantasy short (really short, <30 minute reads) stories in the same vein as Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, been thinking about publishing them on Amazon for free, but I don't think anybody's gonna read them so why bother, right? Honestly if I knew anybody would read them I would probably go ahead and publish them anyways; maybe the anons from these threads could read them and give me some feedback.

How was the self-publishing process? Was it hard?
