#WritersCoffeeClub - Are you self-published or trad-published? Many of my short stories are published in literary magazines, I've been included in anthologies as well. I wrote a novella that was the wrong length for submitting anywhere. So I decided to send it off to a printer and sell it myself. I printed 30 copies and sold 30 copies, which was more than I'd expected to sell. For me it was facing the fear of being seen as "not good enough" - that I hadn't had it published by an indie publisher.
