Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know that in this ebook journey of mine, which has taken up the greater part of my attention span over the last 6+ months, from production to promotion,(read TOTAL OBSESSION) the greatest single find of that journey has been mobileread.com. Its the one place I go where I feel I recieve the greatest amount of support and can return the support as well. Look at the upper part of your screen and right between the words search and quicklinks it says community and I truly believe that most of us on here treat mobileread like a true community in the most positive definition of that word. Where am I going with this most utterly corny and sappy monolouge that is being spouted here. Have I no shame! (of course i dont, who else other then a shameless one could believe ebooks may be the path to their salvation. JKkinda)
I thought that it would be nice to start a thread where people who have invested so much of their time in ebook production but are not seeing their dream results right away can maybe whine a little, sigh a little, tell there sadsack story (such as I created what I think is a great work of literary genius but the only people who have bought my book are me, my mother, and my boyfriend/girlfriend who feel sorry for me and my quixotic quest (haha I'm not being self-referential, well maybe a little)) And then on the flipside you can also come to this thread to be a professional cheerer-upper and remind the down ones that this is a marathon and not a race and not give up and such and such etc. Imagine all the great life karma you will receive from making someones day. I know some of you may be thinking that this would be playing too much into the hands of the "everybody deserves a trophy era and youre special no matter what you do" mentality and perhaps I, myself, am a bit guilty of that but I also know that some of the all-time greatest authors, illustrators, and poets(oh boy, especially poets(im not a poet, but I do know some)) are among the most sensitive creatures who walk this earth and can easily be crushed by slights and blows and once crushed can descend into permanent lunacy. So lets give these artists a little love or at least a sounding board for their ebook creating angst.
As for all you wiseguys and wisegals and smart alecks and smart alexis's who might want to come here and pick on us for being so "chicken soup for the soul- give us a hug corny", we get it, you are the funniest person alive who has a witty putdown for every occasion but just dont do it here. For everyone who has read this entire post and is still here and do not think I am the namby-pambiest soul who ever lived I truly appreciate the time you gave to hear me out. I go through these weird stages where being nice and supportive actually makes me feel good. I try not to be nice for nice sakes and I do try to offer true and honest support because no one wants to be pandered to (except for me, i love it) but....alright you got me I'm a nice-aholic and I need help and my nice-aholicness is spinning out of control again and I only use your sorrow to feed this nice-monster inside of me whose appetite is never fufilled and is alawy searching for new souls to cheer up and I need to go to mean rehab and....did I mention that I am probably insane or have you already picked that up?
Anyways don't give up, its a marathon not a race.
