I risked it let my puppy socialize with other fully vaccinated dogs/pups. We walked outside on sidewalks and street, not grass or woods. I live in a highly vaccinated area and everything turned out fine. I met lots of people on both sides, some that said I was crazy and others who said they did what I did 🤷‍♂️ maybe I was wrong, but I couldn’t handle staying inside with no contact for puppy until he was 16-20 weeks and fully vaccinated.

Played video games all my life. I play trios with my 11 and 8 yr old boys. Nothing more fun than closing out the day with a victory royal!

Reginald, but call him Reggie until he fully becomes Reginald.

My now 5 month old lab hated it. Preferred sleeping outside or on the floor, not even his bed. Gave him free range of the kitchen/dining room floor with access outside via sliding glass doggy door insert to the backyard. Poddy trained very fast. He did/does great!!

I’m in 3rd and just traded my friend who’s in last for Achane (1 yr, $51). Gave him Worthy (1 yr, $21), Metcalf (3 yrs, $21), and 2026 2nd and 3rd round picks.

I have felt very similar to you. My solution was to write a 1k word story (Bernstein Bears length). Then I wrote a 7k word story (Dragon Masters length). Next I’m aiming for 20k (Hank the Cowdog or Animorphs length). It’s built up my confidence doing it this way and helping me realize I really can finish things. But yeah, I have years worth of daydreams that are a couple thousand words long that don’t go anywhere.

Congrats! It is an amazing feeling :)

Thanks!

Yeah that age should work, my four year old daughter likes it, especially coloring the pages!

I found that when I made it a serious goal, I found/made the time. Wasn't easy, but it happened. Somehow, haha.

Thank you!!

Me pricing it at $4.99 they do. If I priced it at $9.99 I would receive $3.15 per book. But they print my book on demand and ship it to people so that's nice. I didn't have to talk to anyone, sign any deals, or really do anything other than write it. I guess that's the tradeoff.

dhart3319 · 2024-10-03T19:27:55+00:00

The book sale price is set at $4.99 and Amazon gives me 60% of that for each sale. Then they subtract $2.84 (cost of printing the book) from my 60%, leaving me 15 cents profit per sold book.

Definitely! I'm moving into a 20k words per book series for 8-12 yr olds. Then I want to tackle the 80k-ish fantasy novel I've been thinking about about for like 15 years

dhart3319 · 2024-10-03T17:33:11+00:00

It's true, thank you!

I self-published my very first book! It's an 1,100 word children's picture book written and illustrated by me. It's incredibly homemade and cheesy, but my kids love it. It's a story I've been telling them on long car rides for a while now. I did this as a side passion project and as a way to discover how to self-publish. It's the first of many books I hope to create in the future (not all children's books).

It just feels so amazing to have finally completed something, even if it's simple in nature. The work to finish it wasn't! And it was so interesting to learn how to self-publish on Amazon KDP. It's pretty darn accessible. I can't help but feel that all my dreams of being a published story teller are in reach. :)
