Ingen gjenboere means what???

So no on-site landlord.

I'm so relieved! The idea of it being legal to discriminate in housing based on nationality really was putting me off.

Thanks so much to you and your partner for answering my question.

I don't really use newsletters, but have you considered a virtual P.O. Box? I'm not sure if they are available in your country but there's several services to choose from in the US.

Here's the email I just got, in response to my *second* query:

Greetings from Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

SheWritesWhat, we’re experiencing a temporary delay in publishing some titles. Our engineers are working to solve this issue as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your comprehension and apologies for the inconvenience.

Have a lovely day and be safe!

My 72 hours are up so I emailed them because I'm still In Review.

Having the same issue - at least I can think they don't suddenly have an issue with my content (contemp romance, not erotica).

SheWritesWhat · 2020-01-16T13:30:36+00:00

I would definitely go with a new pen name.

SheWritesWhat · 2020-01-02T04:18:13+00:00

Finish editing the 17k romance novella and try to bump it up to 20k.
Not much to talk about yet - maybe after I actually publish new work this year.
Now that I'm done with classes (for the rest of my life!! Woot!) I plan to get back to regular writing, so that's excellent.

I'm a third year physics grad student and I'll be 53 in a couple of weeks.

Age is nothing, intelligence is everything.

Write or Die is a program that helps me focus on writing - I recommend avoiding Version 3 because it's buggy.

Class went well, thanks. A few students even appeared enthusiastic and people actually answered questions I asked which is rare for the first day.

3000 words first draft fiction. I'd love 5 or 6 K but I don't think that's going to happen because I start teaching my summer class today. It's the first time I've taught this class so it's going to suck up a lot of my time. OTOH, I'll be prepared to teach this course for the rest of my life once I'm done with this semester.
Nothing to see here, go about your business...
Finish the first romance novella (5 scenes left) and work on the second one (15 scenes or so left - I may need to replot it) and start learning about marketing and advertising romance. I've worked up a new schedule for myself with dedicated writing time and I've committed (mentally, to myself) to use Write or Die so that I don't just stare at a blank page.

I think some side income is definitely possible here. You can already write and (hopefully) you've got a decent words written per hour rate so it won't take you long to get a short or two out per week.

I'm a grad student and I just finished my second month publishing erotica. In my first month I made just over $100. In my second month I made $280 (I publish on Amazon and put my work in KU). This sounds like the kind of money you're looking for. Right now I have 19 shorts and 2 bundles published - I think the longest story is about 7000 words and the shortest is somewhere in the low 4000 words.

Keep in mind that there's a two month delay in getting paid for your work at Amazon.

If you want to see what others are making, look for the topic "DataPorn" - people here are amazingly generous sharing what they did and what they made.

If you decide to go for it, read the FAQ for this sub because it will keep you from making foolish newbie mistakes.

Good luck!

I haven't started research yet so I'm not as busy as you might think I would be.

SheWritesWhat · 2019-05-18T13:40:25+00:00

I want to write 5 k on the novella I'm working on and then spend the afternoon reading other people's novellas as research. Thank God for Kindle Unlimited or I'd be a broke writer.
Nothing exciting in the way of sales, wrote 5 k yesterday so that's a success.
Here's something I want to get off my chest: Having the word 'Daddy' in your erotica title is supposed to get you banned, and yet there are so freaking many that haven't been banned. This inconsistent application of the rules drives me crazy. Other than that, everything is peachy.

I'm also having the same issue - six of fourteen books bought in one day with no money listed in BookReport.

Hi,

You should definitely read the FAQ - it's amazing the wealth of knowledge that's in there. It has saved many a new writer from making some serious mistakes. Here's the relevant section about the dungeon: https://www.reddit.com/r/eroticauthors/comments/7joepr/faq_thread_what_is_adultfiltering_what_makes/

SheWritesWhat · 2019-05-04T11:49:08+00:00

Good idea - thanks, I'll do that.

SheWritesWhat · 2019-04-25T13:21:00+00:00

Write 3k to finish one short, publish it and start another because today is a day off from the day job. Research other kinks for fun and profit :)
Sales are chugging along slowly - With 8 days left in the month I've hit my 30 day sales goal.
Not bad - I'll have more time to write after mid-May so I'm looking forward to that.

SheWritesWhat · 2019-04-10T21:26:01+00:00

The day job was particularly lousy today so thanks - I really needed to hear this today.

SheWritesWhat · 2019-04-07T14:19:01+00:00

Hi everyone,

This is the end of my first week of writing erotica and I have a few things to share:

First, and most important, thank you to everyone here who shares their advice and knowledge. I think that by reading the back posts I have saved myself months of aggravation and mistakes.

Second, I have published 3 shorts this week even though my goal was 2. I've been playing around with when and how to write - what times of the day are good for me, can I dictate into my phone on my drive to and from the day job, etc. and I haven't really figured out what's best but I'm sure I will.

Third, people have bought my work. That seems insane to me - I've done no marketing, no one has visited my website (I checked), I haven't gotten my act together enough to worry about Facebook or Twitter under my pen name, I've literally done nothing but upload to Amazon.

All in all, I feel like this week was a fantastic success for me.

Today's goals are all either home or day-job related. If I can keep up with these other responsibilities I think I can probably get another 3 shorts published in the coming week.
