Konrath & eBooks & Inspiration

J.A. Konrath's entries on Kindle, (here and here), have re-inspired me to write faster and sell more ebooks. I've just checked my Amazon account and was surprised to see that I have indeed been earning on my ebooks sold there. (No, I generally don't check. But I will from now on.)

I was especially taken with Konrath's entry "Should eBooks Be Cheap?" The discussion strikes close to home because my publisher is selling one of my books as an eBook at what I consider to be a suicidally expensive price: $15.00-plus. I've begged the publisher to change the price. We'll see what happens.

In the meantime, I have to continue down the path of ebook self-publishing. I've got how many unfinished manuscripts on my hard drive that languished partly because I let myself get discouraged? I feel energized to finish them and sell them. Even if they only sell ten copies a month, that's more than they're selling for now.

Oh, my! What are you doing here? Obviously, you took a wrong turn on the great information highway. No one reads this blog, absolutely no one, for good reason. It's simply the musings of a writer. Goodness knows, there are plenty of those around, most of them more interesting than this one. So move on. Go on. Shoo!

Still here? Well, if you must stick around, then do be quiet. Make no comments. Don't send out little alerts and invite your friends. This is my place and you're in it. You're welcome to take a seat in the peanut gallery, but don't utter a sound. Not a peep.

Don't let me know you're there. Or else.

About the Author

None of your business. You're not supposed to be reading this, remember? Consider what curiosity did to the cat. You're being curious and that's not good.

Go Away!

Try reading about Sara. She just signed with a big literary agent. Unlike me, she might be kind enough to tell you how she did it.

Don't you have something better to do?

Why don't you go here and learn how to make money online, or here and learn something about men? House is right. You're a nitwit.
