Mostly into research all week. Silva Method, if you must know. Because these time-shifters started it with their simultaneous time. That led back to non-local quantum mechanics, which in turn led to remote perception and influencing - a great course on this from Nightingale-Conant...

Finally had to get back to writing. Too tense, too much work. While I love watching movies at night, it pales against the images and feelings you experience while writing.

Publishing takes a lot longer than editing. By far. All I really worked on - besides an interesting article I sent out to my tiny list of IF authors (says that your ads have to make over 120% in order to be profitable (and pay the increased taxes). If you want 50% of your income spendable, they have to be about 300%. Really.

An intense week of going backward to move forward - revising an old anthology to start posting it to Wattpad. Outstanding improvement by linking all these books together by content.

Still working just to get everything done - finally got my opt-in ad worked out for fiction. Not too surprising, the paperback versions of these new fiction books don't sell. Their reason for being there is to make the ebook look like a bargain. Non-fiction always has paper and hardbacks selling along with the ebooks. And some audio - where I have it available.

How to Succeed as an Author – it’s Free – and You Won’t Like It
For one of 9,999 out of 10K authors, you're going to have to fail a lot before you do one of two things: Eventually succeed, or Quit What about that 1 in 10,000? They have already been there, done that. Failed a lot. Ran into brick walls. Spent a lot of time and money they can't get back - well, at least the time. What do those 1 out of 10,000 have that the quitters don't? Persistence. And faith in their own talent. But figure this: Earl Nightingale in his "Strangest Secret" recording said: "Persistence is just another word for faith." Read your copy of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" again - Chapter 3, and then Chapter 2. Again. Because, the authors I've tracked down have all taken between 5 and 10 years before they had their "overnight" success. And … [Read more...]
