1 April - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 1 Apr 23

Today was a good and surprising day. I'm thankful I got up at 4 AM. I don't know how much sleep I got as it was a sleepless night. I was excited about the ballet last night. I'm thankful I decided to go to the Winter Market. It...

Good Afternoon

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 1 Apr 23

I decided to go after all and just got home after a trip to the grocery store. I had Mother Hubbard's cupboard going on. It's good to have a little to tide me over until I do the major shopping. It was a good day at the Market. A...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 20 Mar 23

Today has been a very good day. I seem to be having a few of those kinds of days lately. I got up before 3 AM this morning, got my laundry done, did Bible Study, and a game played before I left the apartment at 5 AM. I'm...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 18 Mar 23

Today was a great day! Maybe even a fantastic day. I'm thankful I got up when I did this morning. I had a lot to do before I got ready to leave. I'm thankful for the Market on Military this morning. I sold six books. Totally...

At least that's what it is here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's been a good day so far. I just got home from Market on Military. Again, everyone from our writer's group who were there, sold at least one book. One person sold a...

18 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 18 Feb 23

Good evening. It's been a good day today. It started with getting 8 hours of sleep. So, yes, I'm thankful for 8 hours of good sleep. It could have been better if I wasn't up and down several times through the night, but I got...

How the heck is that possible?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 21 Jan 19

I know someone who's published a poetry book many years ago and it keeps on selling. Not in huge numbers but still people keep buying it and years after its release. The amount of copies he's sold so far is slightly less than the...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 3 Dec 18

I went to Lulu to check if I had any new book sales and got excited when I saw that there were two sales. My excitement faded instantly when I realized that these sales are for the two copies of one of my books I purchased...

Can I ask those of you who write for money to give me advice?

Happy Lady and Freya the Catblog Cat @Jackalyn (7558) • Oxford, England 1 Jun 18

Two years ago I stupidly agreed to write something for a church organisation. Like an idiot I did not draw up a contract. It was kind of "If you write this we will pay you "something." Nor was it totally clear what I was writing...

Have to wait a long time to know if I sold any books

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 12 Feb 18

I publish my books with Lulu. Whenever I get a sale for any of my books that were bought directly from Lulu I see that sales info in my account the same day. On the other hand, when someone buys any of my books from distribution...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 16 Nov 17

I had three book sales and was very excited that I made some money, even though it was only around eleven bucks. Two of the sales were in October and the third in November. I would have earned much more for these sales had my...

Getting congratulations but no sales

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 5 Nov 17

I love it when people congratulate me on a new book of mine, when I tell them about it, and even wish me luck, success, or something to that effect. I hate it though when they tell me all that, but then don't bother to get a...

What are some great way to promote a book?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (52199) • Staten Island, New York 5 Sep 16

A writer can spend months and even years writing a book, editing it and finally getting it published, only to find hardly anyone actually cares enough to buy it, not even friends or family, regardless of how much it costs. And it...

I Used To Get Excited Over Book Sales

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 14 Jun 16

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate my readers and I am thankful for them. It's just that I know when someone who said they were going to buy my books actually do. Now if I was making a ton of sales a month I would never know unless...

Have you published (or heard of?) through LuLu.com?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 15 Jan 09

I have three books published on LuLu.com, but they're not traditonally written books. Two of the books are pages from my art journal, and one is a blank art journal that people can use to mirror the work I've presented. I've done...
