My interest in webooking is slowly declining from the comments I get on my thought boxes I’m no longer learning and only two or three people show my stuff a slight bit of interest… In the two weeks I spent in Hawaii I received less then a dozen comments and most of them were from Wendy Brady and Sara Brannon, (God Bless You Both). I remember when I use to get that many comments on just one submission. My primary purpose for being here is to learn and have my stuff noticed since that‘s not happening I‘m just spinning my wheels. If it wasn’t that I loved poetry I wouldn’t hesitate leaving for more then one tenth of a second. Wendy your poems alone give me happiness and motivation and Sara your words warm my heart. Together you are the heart of webook.
From this time on my activity on webook will be limited, mostly I’ll come back to read the poems that I love and see what my webook friends are doing. Occasionally I might add a thought box or two.
My thought boxes have been a dream of mine for quite some time and I’ve paid to have them published by Outskirts Press Publishing Company When I have created enough to fill 500 pages they will be published until then I’m working on a play and a self help manuscript both of which I have contracts on. Outskirts Press is pressuring me to finish but as long as the contracts are signed and paid for there is no limit on the time it takes me to have them ready to publish. For my thought boxes I’ll pick only the best ones with the help of a great author representative.
In my opinion Outskirts Press is the best print on demand publisher on the internet and all the rights to my books are mine. Believe me they are not cheap but you get what you pay for, their best package, the Diamond Package costs in the neighborhood of $2000. Unbelievable, but worth every penny! Even after the Amazon discount I will realize a profit of $15 to $20 a copy and my books will be marketed all over the free world. With the help of my author rep, and, of course, The Director of Author Support, my book is an actual, three-dimensional object that others can buy. For anyone who wants to keep their manuscript exactly as they intended and have complete control over every aspect of the publishing process, Outskirts Press is the best option.
In the mean time I have my websites like the one you are on right now. Hopefully they will help to stimulate interest in my work. If you run your arrow across the bottom of this page you will see the number of visits I am getting. I reset the counter at least once a week. I just started this site and the results are impressive.
I love the many hours that I have spent reading and writing on webook but most of all I love the many talented friends I have had the great fortune to meet. There is no other place where so much love, caring and sharing can be found.
