Is it a narrator you’re tied to for 7 years? I’m not sure that would bother me if I made some of my money back. I’m hundreds of pounds out of pocket on Missing Remnants. I cannot understand why anyone would just be happy to accept that.
I need to do Audible somehow. I need to take the route that doesn't take money upfront if that's possible.
Thanks Sam. Hugs back at you.
That's excellent Dale. I reached $39.21 for July. I haven't written any fiction for Medium yet. Do the publications pay well? I'm not sure how they work.
I like A Stones Throw. You haven’t had one with him in the title yet.
Go on holiday. I’ve been to Kos and Rhodes a few times each. I think Rhodes Town was the only culture I took in other than food and drink. Sometimes it’s about getting away and soaking up sun for a bit.
Doesn’t sound like the firm is too organised. When is your holiday? Go. If they want you they’ll work around plans you’ve already made. I mean, you turned up for an interview they weren’t prepared for. What will they be like to work for? Good luck.
Well done Carole. I wish...
I agree with Alexis-I think I’ve missed the boat and will find it very difficult to find a following now compared to if I’d started 6 years ago. Also agree with Alex’s description of types of books. Not sure if what I read growing up would be considered pulp. It certainly wasn’t at the other end of the spectrum.
Thanks Alex. I think we’re quite similar. He’s a character that spends some of his time rolling his eyes at the world and the rest of the time wishing he could slap the world round its face and tell it how stupid it’s being. That’ll be me then...
Getting a top writer on Medium takes constant effort and time. It’s quite relentless to pull off especially in a large tag like fiction.
Well done. That was going to happen sooner or later. I have a speck of good news. My 18yo daughter read Missing Remnants this week. She reads a lot. I guess she reads YA which, of course, is not what I write. Apart from finding a fullstop in the wrong place and a missing speech mark somewhere which I’ll have to find and correct, she said she enjoyed it, couldn’t find any plot holes and said it made sense. She doesn’t have a vested interest in automatically heaping praise on my writing-she disagrees with me on most things in life. She’s given the paperback to her 14yo brother now who doesn’t read fiction!
It’s probably fine. I’m just not a fan of the whole ‘anything is possible if you believe it is’ thing. I’ve had my self belief crushed a number of times so I prefer not to get my hopes up and celebrate the little wins with everything in life.
But then again I’m part of a group on FB which I’m thinking of leaving where people keep posting screen shots of how many tens of thousands of dollars they are making. So some people are making money at it. (Naturally I find the group totally intimidating and that’s why I’m thinking of leaving.)
Having been told that many people would be interested in reading my books, yet failing to find these people in the last few years, I have to say I agree with the article. Doesn’t mean I’ll give up. But I’m not expecting much.
