ACE REPORTER ANDERSON COOPER OF THE VALESPORT NEWS NETWORK HERE WITH A BREAKING STORY

Aw ^_^ I know 2 people personally who do that. Who write. Crap. And make 60k a year. And I just want to eat their faces. [size=small](And then possibly their readers' faces bc omg why are you doing that to your braincells please read well written porn at least please and thank you...)[/font]<font size="2] The game these days is getting your name out there, not who's publishing you (because publishers, unless they've spent 6 figures to acquire you, expect you to do all of the visibility work yourself so you might as well do it anyway and keep your dollars). So the people who can get the eyeballs get the dollars. *arms self with fork* *goes hunting eyeballs*[/font]
I thought I saw they wouldn't let it go to the catalog if you upload just the epub...and kind of rage quit. ...if that's not the case I guess I can cool down enough to upload things over there too...... More markets are at least neutral good. XD
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - Tindome - 06-16-2015
Haha, it will still go to the premium catalog if it's just ePub, it just takes... work. Presumably it will get easier as I have practice? The big pain is that you can't have samples if it's in ePub, so there's no way for anyone to preview it.
My hope is that if I keep publishing them and if they're good I'll get some traction. I want to write more sexy doofy superheroes! Maybe someday someone will feel strongly enough about it to make a tumblr powerpoint about why people should read my stuff.
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - amzamiviram - 06-16-2015
I failed to post anything because I've been super busy with work!
AAAAAND THEN I GOT FIRED TODAY HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Ah well, the job was stressing me out, so it's ok, and i'm in a good position housing wise and the like, so it's a good time to job hunt for me. And hopefully this'll mean more time to actually get into forum RP!
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - danixiewrites - 06-16-2015
QQ Samples. Even Goodreads lets you upload PDF samples.
You'll get traction. Traction will happen. XD I keep hearing: 5 books. People start noticing at 5 books.
I don't know if that's true, but...I'll have 5 things out by the end of the year so. WE SHALL SEE. *jazzhands*
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - Tindome - 06-16-2015
Oh no! I hope everything works out for you, your optimism is very reassuring. :glomp: I am looking forward to whatever you decide to do! In a no pressure kind of way!
i have a very difficult time striking a balance between being excited about new posts and not pressuring people to write posts because i don't want to stress anyone out
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - danixiewrites - 06-16-2015
I'm glad to hear you're in a good spot to not have a job--it really takes the goo out of the situation so you can both recover from the stress AND find something better. Good luck on the searching!!
And on not dayjobby things: where you thinking about hopping in? ^_^

Also, Megs, by the by, Rhys and Zakiel are by the froint desk. Not the stacks. Elijah, as a side note, just went o the kitchen.
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - megs - 06-16-2015
Haha. Thanks.
I will fix~
Edit: certainly got that all mixed up, but it should be better now.
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - Blade - 06-16-2015
Noooo worries ^_~
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - megs - 06-17-2015
Okay, so now that I am actually awake and not trying to fix things in my sleep (which I should not have done anyway) I've realized two things
1. Adelphie totes doesn't need to interrupt that scene when Elijah is all by his lonesome
2. I am vaguely aware of reading something about Shay taking a bit of a break?.
In conclusion, I'll be editing that post further when I get home.

Alonimi Spamstravaganza - megs - 06-17-2015
Okie doke. I am all done touching it.
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - Tindome - 06-17-2015
*eyebrow waggles*
*secretly hopes everything goes to hell in a handbasket so she has an excuse to make Jean run around half-dressed and disheveled*
>:3
Alonimi Spamstravaganza - megs - 06-17-2015
*is sure Adelphie would find that quite entertaining, thus making matters worse*
