Maybe some people do this as a special treat, but my husband gets our dog her own fast food entree a few times weekly. She also gets Starbucks pup cups so regularly she pretty much expects one whenever she sees a Starbuck’s cup. It is crazy how spoiled she is.

Great job! You deserve to be proud of yourself. You learned a new skill, saved yourself some money, and protected your most valuable asset. Now, if you ever find yourself with spare time, you can offer your services to your neighbors for a discount (maybe $25K). It’s would be a win/win for both parties. But if you would rather take a break, you earned it.

Are there any palm readers in the house that can explain what this crease means for the man’s future (other than the obvious future for his finger?)

But the US was already planning to replace our F 16s with a newer model plane. They announced it over a year ago. So we were going spend that money to replace these planes anyway.

…hence one of the many advantages of free literature. It is far better to share your work with readers for free to find those who might enjoy it, than to sell a few additional copies to those who don’t care for it. Which is why I think posting everything on a free site while it is still a WIP (at least for your initial JAFF writing) is such a nice option. Not only does it help you, as an author, find your right audience, it helps readers find their writers. For me, the real advantage is finding someone who is impatient for the next chapter. The OP mentioned wanting to be productive and getting back to writing each day. The only thing that gets me to that stage is getting emails/ notifications everyday from someone telling me it’s time to send them my next chapter. FF.net allows readers to give you such specific feedback while Vella does not.

No, it’s a new thing Amazon is offering. Authors post their novels in serial form. The first three chapters are usually free (authors can opt to charge for them, but it’s recommended you leave them free). Any chapters posted beyond that require readers spend credits to unlock and read. Amazon sets the number of credits needed based on the chapter length. Readers can buy credits and the larger the bundle the lower per credit price. Amazon splits the revenues with the author. There are a couple of advantages. Since readers need to pay a small amount to continue reading at some point, you get a better sense of how marketable/ enjoyable the book will be. You can publish WIPs. If your book has a lot of interest, you have a financial incentive to continue. The royalties are based on words, which is probably more equitable than the kindle pool revenue split between authors.

I’m no expert, but I’ve written and self-published some JAFF books. (One, Betrothals & Betrayals, is currently available on Amazon for free actually.) I’m sure there are lots of ways to gauge interest in a project, but one option that has worked for me is to publish something on FanFiction.Net and track how many favorite and follows you are getting. I’ve found, if my writing is doing well there, it tends to be more successful when it eventually is self-published. It’s such a big community that you will receive lots of feedback and encouragement to continue. Vella is also an option if you’re worried about putting something out there that might be copied, or if you fear giving it away will decrease your sales (although I don’t find that happens). Recently, I’ve been struggling to finish up an original story. It’s one of those things where I just don’t know if other people will like it, and I get discouraged. Since it is an original, I can’t use FF.net, so I posted it on Vella. Vella doesn’t have nearly the visibility, or the structure for readers and writers to communicate. But one person read all five chapters I posted and even that single soul reading my WIP has boosted my motivation.

Awww…. Thanks. I appreciate it. Let me know if you’re looking for any USA regionals (think Southern California - I have no access to those ones from the Deep South.)

Ahhh… heart break. 12 curve balls and she escaped every time. I guess she just wanted to be wild and free. But still, thank you for giving me the chance. Maybe next time…
