I am freakin out.
Today a wonderful lady is having me deliver
her 5 copies of my book to her home.
She was at the poetry reading I did back in November.
She already has a copy of my poetry book.
These 5 copies she wants are christmas gifts for family and friends.
I am so in awe............
Thank you is all I can say.
Thank you MCKB.
It has been a moving afternoon.
I am impressed by this lady I spoke of earlier.
She's in her 70's and just full of intelligence.
A very artistic lady.
Anyways, her getting 5 copies of my book is helping me pay my bills.
Thank you MCKB.

Yeah I signed them. (humbling)
1 of those 5 books is going out east to her cousin
that is with a group of authors that combined some of
each others poetry put them in a book.

I WILL read it one day. It just takes me a long time to get round to doing anything.
I read a short reveiw somewhere and it only said good things. (Can't remember where, now). :(
Depends.
I think to myself often about this.
I ask around the same price as a
bookstore does or an online.com does.
I myself don't get them for free.
My 2 author copies were free, that's it.
Anymore cost me.
:eek:
I'll say nothing.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
No, please do.
Let's communicate about whatever is on your mind.
You can pm me or type it out here.
All I'll say is if you trust your talent, you shouldn't have to pay for your publishing at all. Be careful of vanity publishing companies ripping you off. They don't want to help you pay your bills, they want to give you bills. A good agent or legit publisher will want you to be a success.
Please, that's not to say you haven't done a good thing - hell you've been published before I have, so what do I know, right?

I never paid a dime to have my stuff published.
Yes, I do not get cases upon cases of free books to throw around, No.
I do get a decent discount, that's it.
I am new and basiclly a nobody.
A bookstore manager once told me she
wouldn't put my book on her shelves because
I am competing with Harry Potter.
Some bookstores are very helpful.
Like the one in my hometown.
When you get your book together and all fired up.
You'll find yourself like a grain of sand amongst a sandcastle.
haha. (my best shot at saying it's a real bitch to get noticed, but its beautiful to you and hopefully others think so too)

Thank you harmless.
I wish you the same my friend.
We will take on the world #
We should start a literary group... We should have some 'theory' or 'school of thought'. We could invite other 'needle in a haystack' writers to join us.
What could it be?

I love your term 'needle in a haystack' writers.
Maybe you just gave it the title, 'What could it be'?
A lady who works at the bank where I do my banking got a copy of my book today.
It is a gift for her husband.
She told me she was going to order it and she'd bring it to work for me to sign it.
I told her I have some copies of it @ my house.
I hauled ass home, grabbed a copy, handed it to her, she handed me some money.
I said I am grateful and thank you very much.
Said good-bye, walk out the door as the doors were being locked behind me.
Today I am thrilled, I personally have gotten rid of 6 copies of my book.
Sold 5 copies of my book on Tuesday to a fellow truck driver dude I know.
Tonight 1 copy was picked up online @ some .com by a fellow jammer
This is just fuckin awesome.
Thanks.
So yea, I am quite electrical these days.
As some of you already know, I write poetry.
A few days ago my 2 author copies were delivered here to the house.
Wow, is it ever way cool to be holding/reading my own book I wrote.
Anyhow, check it out if you like.
My aunt emailed my mom today saying she was able to order it from her local book stores computer.
It is true, I went and found it, it is ready.
It is time to rock.

I don't know how I missed this thread. Just ordered your book from our local Village Books.
