That's what happens to people
who's books get published and sold through Amazon!
You can make it happen!
How would your life change?
Would you be writing
at anchor, on secluded bays of the Caribbean, editing plot
lines
from stone balconies overlooking Eastern Europe or
developing characters at a coffee
shop under the Eiffel Tower.
Your life can change
drastically!
When paydays consist
of hotel rooms with secured Internet
connections for tapping your PayPalTM
account to buy yet another fat
stack
of travelers checks, the world is your oyster!
Maybe that's not your goal as
a published author.
Is
contentment for you being curled up on your own couch
watching embers
smoldering on the hearth, while you finish up yet another
how-to-manual on your laptop?
Is the definition of safety
the knowledge that
profits from the last book
will put braces on your daughter, buy hockey equipment for your
son, with more than enough left over to build the sun room for
your plants, come this spring!
Or...
Maybe
your idea of success doesn't include travel or security as long as
royalty checks allow you to practice your art. Maybe you don't give a
damn about the profits and would be happy to chain yourself to a dimly
lit desk,
in a back closet writing page, after page, after page, fueled only on
coffee, cigarettes, and brandy. Happiness is for schmucks and you don't
care as long as you
can write
whatever the hell you want! Your motto being work now, and leave the
royalty checks for a headstone!
For Those Already
Writing
And Making A Living:
Even
if you are making a living now by getting paid for your writing,
and even if you have been blessed with getting your
own byline on a website, magazine or a news paper article that
you have written... Does it still seem unfulfilling?
Has the thrill of having your
very own book to point to, eluded you thus far?
Imagine the difference in your
life being able to say, simple off the cuff phrases like "oh
you can find my book on Amazon", could make to your social,
economic and possibly even your sex life.
I'm am not kidding! Your life
will change exponentially as soon as you get a book published.
Having a published book, you
can point to, on a resume, or at
a cocktail party or even at a weenie roast will open doors for
you, that
you frankly may not even have known existed!
If you don't have a
book published what can you expect:
Have you told someone you are
a writer or that you are trying to be a writer recently?
How did that work for you?
Even
if you've become pretty successful in the freelance arena, do eyes
soon glass over whenever you try to describe how you make a
living.
What are they
thinking?
If
you're a fiction writer, you can probably very easily guess what's
going on
in their minds.
If
you say you're a writer but don't have a book to point to...
You
might as well tell them your an actor, dancer or artist! (which
translates into " I drive
a taxi now but I've got high hopes that maybe someday...)
These are just some of the
reasons that it is just paramount that you actually
get
published!
