I didn't realise counsellors did that. I feel vindicated. I don't forgive either. For me forgiveness would mean that I was OK with what happened to me and I will never be OK with what I've been through. So why forgive the people who caused that harm? It only makes them feel better. I'm still at the anger stage. I'm quite enjoying it. It's nice now I'm finally free to deal with the trauma because some of the people who were part of the problem are no longer breathing. If I'd made a fuss earlier I would have been accused of attention seeking and causing their illnesses.
I’ve found there’s no justice in the real world for things I’ve been through. So I use writing as therapy in a very childish ‘they started it’ way.
I suppose there is the theory if you see yourself in something like that there must be some element of truth to the story in order for you to recognise yourself in the first place. Bullies don’t always recognise themselves though. In their minds they never do anything wrong.
Exactly. Although there was an episode of one of the Law and Orders featuring a character who was a child abuser. The character even looked like Michael Jackson and the story was definitely written to make you think Michael Jackson. I was amazed they got away with it.
I don’t sell many books and yes the majority sell via Amazon. I have sold 4 copies on iBooks since May and 1 on Kobo and normally I just don’t sell many anywhere.
Bargain Booksy got me 3 sales at $2.99 and 7 sales at .99. Social media and Twitter especially is a complete waste of time for me.
Uh oh! I still haven't got around to submitting anything anywhere. Maybe I'll wait until all the creases have been ironed out. Hope you manage to find it!
I’ve never tried. I know if you manage it you have to apply for public lending rights. I’d be interested to know if you get somewhere.
It does convert well. I want my 70% royalty back. So it had to be at least $2.99. £1.99 smacks of being too cheap for a regular price. One thing I can’t get is Kobo to update their price. It says it’s done it. But it’s still saying the old price. Do they take a while?
I nicked the £2.49 price from one of your books Alex, so I hope you have a better idea than I do :-)
