It has been a while since I updated. There is no apologies necessary for me to give, since it is my own doings. My request for an extension was heard and granted, and in the first six days of this brand new achievement, I have had less than ten books ordered.
I am losing hope quickly. I hate to say it, but it is true, and why should I lie. I need to go get more parchment paper, is it parchment--nope! Need to grab Cardstock; more for my flyers. I have been discreetly passing them out to prechosen guests where I work, and that seems like a fruitless endeavour, but I still have some hope in the strategy.
Someone, just a couple hours, asked me why are you even doing this? After getting defensive, I formulated a response: because I have to. I have to get this published. Since I put so much into this crazy story of mine, anything less would be detrimental to my well being and core belief in myself as a writer, entertainer, and story teller. I would rather see this in the broken shelves in the discounted section of a failing bookstore, discounted cause no one wanted it, than bliking at me as a word doc I have selected and am just dragging around from one email to who knows what folder(s) on my laptop.
Please take a look into my mind, and if you like what you see, type out the necessary info to get your pre-order. I am at 250 copies as we sit right now at...2:50 AM/84 days left/out of 1,000 needed to complete my goal.
I thank you all to those who have helped and went anove and beyond the call for help. The people who took the "Dead End Ahead", who commented on their favorite passages, and who took the U-turn to insure this book gets its chance with the big boys. The inkshares!
Checkmate and Rummy my dear Gladiators
