Finally I Did It

I know, some of you might be like where did she go hehe. Well, I spent these past few days focusing on doing some research on a small project that was part of my dream as a kid. As a kid I always loved listening to stories, as I grew up I wanted to tell stories. I always made up stories to tell in class. All my friends would tell stories from Disney movies whereas I would just get something original. As you all know, life isn't getting any easier for any of us. Every day things are getting more and more expensive so I thought why not try to make an ebook for kids? So I started doing some research online and started writing the story. The most important part of the book was the illustration. As I don't have any money to invest, I decided to use help from my favorite game. I made sure to check all the copyrights and rules before finalizing this idea. Finally, I completed the ebook and hopefully next month I will sell it on eBay. I have no idea if it will be a success or a failure but at least I tried. So how have you been? What have you been up to for the past few days?

Aww so sorry to hear. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thank you so much. It means a lot to me too. Next month I will be on eBay. I have some paperwork to do before I can list anything on eBay. That's why I have to wait until next month.

@just4him I see. When you take your book to the publishers to get your book publish, are you the one who pays for it or does the publisher sponsor you? Just wondering how things work.

Thanks, Amber. I really hope this works out for us. Nothing much has changed? How about the weather? You know from 33 degree Celcius to 26 in one day. We went from summer to winter in a day. Sounds crazy isn't it.

The most important part of what you've done is you tried. The next step is to keep trying, you will find there are many lessons to be learned from what you are doing

Congratulations, What an interesting idea. I’m glad you did it. I’d like to publish a poetry book but I’m afraid I couldn’t get in order.

Thanks, Rudy. No life is too short. How are you so sure you won't get any orders when you didn't even try? Give it a try. You can even try it online with amazon kindle. It makes things easier to handle. Give it a try. Maybe the 1st book might not do well but you have to keep on trying until you make it. You see this is actually my 2nd book after 3 years I decided to give it a try again. For my 1st book, I had only one purchase. My customer loved the book unfortunately I didn't get any other clients after that 1st sale.
