WHO. TOLD. BORING. ON. ME.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Yesterday
Just read through an email that I got from KDP (kindle direct publishing), that is how my books are available via kindle. Anyway, so I guess my charging only $2.99 per book, except for the 1st month, give or take a few days, is charging too much for a kindle download. Well, let me just say this. I know some authors will charge $5+ for their work, but let me assure you I will never charge that much. I get to set my price. I personally do not think that I charge a whole lot for my books. Plus, there have been a few times i have offered for $0.99 or even once free. Here is the thing, when I charge $2.99 for a book for kindle download, I am only making $2.06 off that book. On a kindle download I only make $0.66 per a download. I won't even tell you how much I make on paperback. I would rather sell kindle downloads because I make more, but i know some would like signed copies and for those who live near and want a signed copy feel free to buy a paperback and ask. I will willing sign it for you. But in no way did i think I was over charging just to make a few $$s. You know what those few $$s have gone to? At least the few $$s I have made so far? So far i have put my money back into buying a few paperbacks in order to do a giveaway that no one participated in. You know what I could do with all the money I could have earned if all my friends and family had thought about either buying a copy or spreading it by word of mouth and helped get more copies out to people? I could have helped my husband pay bills. I could make sure my children get to play all the sports and extracurricular activities that they want. I could have put the money back into my community. helping out all my friends kids with the fundraisers they have to support local teams of sports and things my children don't play. I don't do this to get rich. I doubt that will ever happen. I do this because it was always a dream of mine. No, I'm not the next Mark Twain, Erntest Hemingway, or authors of today, like Nora Roberts, Danielle Steele, or even J. K. Rowling, but I don't think I'm horrible. Writing has always been a passion of mine and will continue to be. I also know my writing isn't what a lot of you read since I write Teen/YA. It is so much to ask my own friends and family to support on my journey in life as I have tried my hardest to support you all in your ventures in life? I didn't think it was too much, but I guess I was wrong.

You Guys. I'm high. This, this I can't.

Who will write the first Boring Mcwindbag fan fiction?

Eta--never mind. I guess Erntest Hemingway will take care that.

[pantsparty]

Wow, if only people had purchased her books, she could be doing SO MUCH. If only you would provide us a link to her novel, WE could be helping her achieve her dreams.

I thought she was writing erotica? No? YA?

Her first trilogy was a YA.  Now she's doing a supernatrual smutty thing.

[ginap]

HOLY WALL OF TEXT BMcWB.
I have so many feelings.

This part "You know what those few $$s have gone to? At least the few $$s I have made so far? So far i have put my money back into buying a few paperbacks in order to do a giveaway that no one participated in.
" made me 

But then she said this "You know what I could do with all the money I could have earned if all my friends and family had thought about either buying a copy or spreading it by word of mouth and helped get more copies out to people?
" and all of that good will flew out the window 
And I can't even with this "...Erntest Hemingway..." 
Don't ever change Boring, don't ever change.

[trixiedicksnatch]

I love that she bought her own paperback for a giveaway that NO ONE PARTICIPATED IN

Shouldn't that be a fucking clue??

No one wants your shit for free

[05heel]

Why didn't you tell us about the giveaway!?

[agnes]

Wait....isn't she the blogger that took and took and took money, didn't pay her bills or the IRS, tried to declared bankruptcy, and commited fraud? Or am I mixing her up with someone else?

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I like how even Amazon is all '...dude' at this point.

[bania]

Erntest is killing me!!! Ahahaha

[loremipsum]

Now I'm DYING to read and recap one of her books - I can only imagine how bad they must be. I'm picturing error-riddled text and no paragraph breaks - ever.

[juliagoulia]

How did I not realize she already has book(s?) written??? I thought she was just toiling away on her first work of drivel.

I want to buy one! (The cheapest one)

Well there's you're problem right there!

[sofamonkey]

Maybe you could post or PM the name of the book?  Some people have trips they will be taking soon, and reading will need to happen.  Plus, nosy. 

[sofamonkey]

Also, making $2 on a $2.99 deal? That is kind of a lot. I think it's pronounced doo-mah.

LOL, NO.  That would imply an exciting life.

I really should just up and give you guys the book titles, shouldn't I?  It's my RESPONSIBILITY AS HER FRIEND TO WORD OF MOUTH SOMETHING SHITTY BOOK.

Well, it's either $2.09 or $.66.  I think she's confused.  I am.

She pretty much asked you to. If you don't tell us, you're a hater.

"So far i have put my money back into buying a few paperbacks in order to do a giveaway that no one participated in."

She needs to read the above sentence to herself over and over until the lightbulb comes on.

[thebreakfastclub]

Signed copies?!?! LOL

I could never have imagined a sentence travelling from Mark Twain, to Erntest Hemmingway, to Danielle Steele.

I want to live in this world of delusion.

[juliagoulia]

Also- do her signed copies include a full page of handwritten nonsense like her Facebook statuses? Because I might need one if that's the case.

[lightbulbsun]

OMG, I'm dying at "or even J.K. Rowling".

Maybe if she wants to help her husband pay bills she should get a job?
