/lit/ - Literature

40 to 60 books release on Amazon alone EACH DAY.
About 350 books in the week around your release.
Blockbuster release? Successful release by a known author or another new author, in your genre? BOOM you are done.
Also, not only are you competing with other new releases, but the entire backlog of books every reader owns. :)

Take all the "success stories" you can think of in the past 30 years and divide it by the number of writers in that time who have tried (again, 50 books a day, 1500 a month) and there's your historical likelihood of "making it."

Amazon cut, higher self-employment taxes, no benefits, no retirement, AND to top it all off: Your sales diminish over time, so even if you hit this "mediocrity lottery" you'll have to do it all over again in a couple years.
