Maybe it's time I just gave up. Nothing is changing. No progress. It feels like I'm bashing my fucking head into a wall. Maybe I was wrong about that option no longer being viable. Don't mind me. Just letting the weight of everything suffocate me again. How is it this easy to feel so isolated? It's a constant struggle. That nagging fucking voice in the...

What's stopping you from checking out this book? The Ones Left Behind is still on Amazon.
I can tell you that's a worthwhile read. And so can at least 5 people on Amazon. I promise that more people have read it, it's just hard to get people to leave reviews. T-T
But apparently 5 reviews is enough for Amazon to generate

I was listening to some Gunship when this gem came on. First, I was wracking my brain to remember what the quote was from. The Breakfast Club, if you don't know. Some 80's nostalgia for you.
But I started thinking about it. When you grow up, your heart dies... Is that why I don't feel like I've truly grown up? At no point in my...

Well there's a nice surprise right before bed (I know, 6 in the morning is a terrible bedtime). The Ones Left Behind is now up to five reviews on Amazon, and I made my first sale of the month. I wonder if my cringy Valentine's Day promo (see last blog) worked?
I finally decided to take the advice @headshot gave me, and I got myself a little gift for getting my first royalty check. Now if you'll excuse me, the Shadow of the Erdtree dlc for Elden Ring awaits. (Did I say gift? It might end up being a punishment. π )
The Ones Left Behind is on Amazon if you want a good book. So far...

Thank you @samihain for tagging me in this. I believe it was to share a picture, knick knack, or piece of artwork? So I will share this, and its little story.
My Pilz-e died three years ago, and it devastated me. And about a year or so after he died, my mom found this picture of him and brought it over to me. I immediately

Keeping in mind that I'm broke as fuck... Does anyone have any ideas to help market The Ones Left Behind? I'm trying to keep posting about it on social media, but I'm seriously drawing a blank here.
I managed to create an entire world, a history, and people. But all of that creativity flees my body when it's time to start marketing.
I don't feel right. I'm rocking back and forth... stimming again. Looking for something to do, something to watch, something to play, fucking anything. But lately nothing feels right. I don't know what I feel. I just feel wrong. Writing it out sometimes helps. So I figured I'd do that here. I can't pinpoint when it started. I just need... something, I don't know. But...

I started actively using threads a little over a month ago. And after a month of posting, I managed three sales. And today one of them, after having the book for less than a week, posted this.
I was grinning like an idiot for a few minutes after getting the notification. So, there's someone other than me who thinks that you should probably read The

Today I got my first royalties from selling The Ones Left Behind. It's nothing life changing, but getting $123.67 into my bank account from a book that I wrote is kind of awesome. Hopefully I can manage more sales to keep it going.
