I'm not oblivious to the pipe-dream that is being a successful author, but you have to shoot that high if you want any chance of getting there IMO.

Please keep any suggestions coming. Much appreciate the support and advice everyone. This place is the best.
First off congrats! I don't know much about this kind of thing but if you're looking to self publish through Amazon you should look into Andy Weir. He self published The Martian on Amazon.
