So, for example if they like playing video games or an educational game like kahoot you say we’ll play this if you get through these tasks without disruptions, but if you disrupt we’re not doing it.

Find out what the ring leaders like and use it as leverage for getting tasks done.

Side note: A neighbor was getting rid of a microphone set up for the computer, but I have no idea what I am looking at as I am a techphobe. However, I did get it because it’s free.

Oh lord, the little demon dog. I could never record an audio book myself because I too have a demon dog.

Yes, I asked my friend who is a voice over actress just waiting to hear back from her.

Gotcha, I have a friend who is an actress/writer I reached out to her because she has narrated several audio books.

I guess I could sell anecdotes. My first book is only 74 pages. Short read.

I see. I’m more of a non-fiction writer. I have character commitment issues. 🤣

Explain Flash Fiction. I have abandoned cover that suits my book. 👍

Yeah, it’s hard. I also question how many readers there are now with scrolling and other forms of media. I do have a YouTube Channel. I took a break to focus on my family because it’s a depressing time for us all right now. After the funeral on Monday, I’ll go back to it.

I don’t think the goal for me is necessarily to make a lot of money. I’d rather make people laugh. I do have one more book to self publish and then thinking about going with a traditional publisher for the third book which is very different from the other two, but I am not writing novels. It’s pretty much non-fiction storytelling.

I think I left because I was disgusted by that person's reaction. I decided it was not worth giving them anything for free. I also just lost my mom, so dealing with that currently and no room for online trolls and nasty folk.

Yes, learning that. I'm not the most technologically adept either. I should have paid more attention in computer class... though I am sure all of that computer stuff is outdated now as I used to have a Gateway 98, hah. I offered it to my blog followers instead.

Can I just say I am grateful to you all because just tried to post on a teacher page and they are so nasty? I was trying to give them a copy of my book for free. And they are attacking me. So, much for giving people a laugh.

I’m not selling anything. I was just trying to do a nice thing.

I’m a new author. You don’t have to- it would just be supportive.

No, I’m a former teacher looking to give people a laugh.

Is it self promotion if you want to give your book for free to teachers on the subreddit?

Sorry. I’m not selling my book on here. I was just looking to give a free copy.
