Random fact about yourself

Wow. That is kind of cool!
 
>I really didn’t know how to use Amazon self publishing until last year  
Is Amazon self publishing the best way to go? Adding to it is simply giving them an ever so tiny amount of more power over you and assuming that you won’t go viral easily, would it be better to just keep a boycott on amazon and use another self publishing platform? There is more then one counter argument to this however and I am no way saying it is simply immoral to use amazon for it, just asking the question.

@TheBridge  
There really is no other alternative. Amazon offers print on demand with no up front cost. Everyone else pay to print x many books up front and store them, and then they go in an unsold box of shame that takes up space. I already get 95% of everything I buy that’s not food from Amazon.
 
If I haven’t gone viral in the past 17 years I’ve been trying to make it online what are the odds it will happen next month? I’ll be happy if I my books sell double digits.

How about making your own Website with Yolasite or Weebly?

The “new” old book I’m editing now started out as an assignment for a film class that several years later I decided to turn into a full book. Still, the paper I submitted seems to represent a fully formed idea, like it was all thought out already.
 
The book was handwritten on 55 sheets of paper. There are 104 pages with writing and 6 blank pages (sides of a single sheet).
 
3 pages have just a paragraph on them that, taken together, make up about half a page.  
3 pages are half pages.
 
Looking at that it can be estimated at 100 full pages (98 + .5(4)).
 
The text, not counting titles and extras, is 82,322 words, so there’s roughly 823 handwritten words on each page, or 1,646 words per sheet of paper.
 
I was originally worried the book wouldn’t be long enough, but these words are microscopic, so I easily made the quota.
 
Some pages are cut up and taped together because the book was written out of order and scenes were reorganized. Other pages have extra bits taped on because I wanted to finish a paragraph without getting a new sheet and losing my place, because the book was written out of order. It took two months to type up not only because the text is microscopic but because I had to decipher notes such as:
 
[End of Flashback]  
|  
v  
Next Scene
 
Next 2-IX  
Banquet Scene
 
[Add Scene]
 
2-5X
 
next page (3XXD)
 
Rework in light of beginning of chapter =>
 
Imma include scans of a few of these pages as an appendix to the book. I also have a few videos where I choreographed the fight scenes. Those won’t be included. I did a 35 minute audio commentary when it was first written. I might put that up on my Bitchute channel. I’m also going to use it as inspiration for the essay at the end of the book.

And I’ve worn one never.

I’m rotten to the core.

I have know this feeling in the past. Right now after barely 2 hours of sleep though I am like:  

I thought the new mlp movie was okay.

@Dex Stewart  
How controversial! That is more then likely my opinion, not great, not awful, just at average or just slightly above or below it.

I thought Last Jedi was okay.  
Not that I would mind if it gets retconned away.

@Dex Stewart  
I have flipped around on all the films of the squeal trilogy. The best possible interpretation of the Last Jedi is and it’s “the past needs to die” is one giant diss on JJ Abrams and The Force Awakens being ascended fan fiction. The worst possible take is it being a hate letter to the fans. I think in either case it failed for not really going anywhere new and destroying all the plot points of the old film. I am mixed on how much I dislike it though as through all the media lauding, scapegoating and backstabbing that happened within and around Lucasfilm leads me to be unconvinced of any of the popular narratives on the behind the scenes being true, from either the SJW media boosting or the “fandomence”, but for me to more in depth I would probably take it to the Star Wars thread as this could turn into a mini essay post or something.

@TheBridge  
I just watch what I like. I didn’t like the sequels. I won’t watch them. Except maybe with Rifftrax. I like Mandalorian, I like Clone Wars,I like Bad Batch,I like Rogue One, I’ll watch those.  
Star Trek unfortunately can’t seem to make anything I like lately, so I guess it’s all reruns for now.

@Dex Stewart  
Similar boat honestly. Though sometimes I enjoy watching something that is train wrecky or odd Star Wars Resistance!

I wear socks to bed

@Acres  
I only wear socks when I leave the house.

@Acres  
I have hairy Hobbit feet and socks are unbelievably uncomfortable in bed.

@Fleur de Lis  
Same, even in winter when I’m at home I only wear sandals without socks.  
To me they’re a bit uncomfortable.

The reason I wear them is what happened when I was like 12. I had a hangnail that got ripped off.

@Acres  
I’ve had that happen.

I can’t remember half of my immediate cousins’ names, nor the names of any of their children (or even which ones have children).
