What did you blog about today?

[HareBrain]

I feel like the best way to make a living as an author these days is to simply write quick, briefly edit, and sell lots and lots of self-published books on Amazon.

Plus tie it in to a blog that tells people how to write quick, briefly edit, and sell lots and lots of self-published books on Amazon.

I feel like the best way to make a living as an author these days is to simply write quick, briefly edit, and sell lots and lots of self-published books on Amazon. You won't make much per book, but once you get enough that's okay.

Not sure I'd want to do that myself.

Happily there is little evidence this is actually what works

Not sure I'd want to read that either.

Very busy this week and no strips anywhere near finished, so only a only a single panel pulled out of my sketchbook.

(Paradoxically, for reasons I won't go into but mainly because I'm an idiot, it took me longer to 'ink' this one panel than it would normally take me to do a whole page.)

Even in this age of the interwebs and everything else, there's simply no substitute for quality.

Today I did a brief blog about the fact that my book is categorized as Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Crime in Amazon. Even though I specifically did NOT put it there! I put it in under Superheroes and War & Military. NOT Crime!

So I joked about it on my blog today. I can't decide if the algorithm is botched or if its 'fridge brilliance'.

Which came first, the 75 or the 3900?

Pfffp. That's nothing - Inish Carraig started as a 75 worder and Waters and the Wild a 300. And then I have a duplogy planned from another 300. I can barely dare look at the challenges for fear of another fecking novel appearing.

Ju - exciting!

@Jo Zebedee yeah i have a 75 word that turned into a 76,000 word novel, and the sequel has started!

And sleepy grove is at 45,000 and started as a 3500 word short.

Something is happening with the bots and it's not good, in any way shape or form: The Age of Artificial Stupidity: How Pizzagate Just Broke the Internet – JohnJFalco.com

Or maybe I'm way too obsessed with Westworld?

I interrogated somebody called Brian about Roman sports colours. And asked about his new book too:

I talked about reviews and what it's like to receive them. I also talked about when cake should be eaten. Because it's important to address the essential things in life:

That's an interesting idea, Stephen.

Nicholas Humphrey just emailed me. I sent him a copy of volume 1, and did a faux-Calman cartoon on the inside, as used in NH's book The Inner Eye. He was absolutely thrilled! So my next plan is to stalk him by suggesting a meeting in Cambridge, where he lives…
