Book Tidbit
It takes the average author (no such thing, imao) a year to write and be satisfied with a 500 page book. An entire year on one project. Why so long? That's crazy. Writers are known as 'flighty' or 'easily distracted' for only releasing one novel every 365 days, but consider this:
A shopping list (1 page) takes roughly 15 minutes for someone going to the market and that is usually half a page with 1-3 words per line, for a total of 50-75 words. Now compare that with the last book you enjoyed. There are roughly 300 words per page. We have to multiply the grocery list by 4 to equal the amount of time spent on one page. Yes, you read that correctly. it can take an hour for an author to write just 1 page, or 300 words. That's why you have to wait so long for the next title in the series.

If the majority of people agree on something, does that make it a fact? After all, pier reviews are much the same thing and they've been forming science as we understand it since science began forming. If any of those piers weren't honest, imagine the unbelievable bullshit that people might actually think is true or good.
...perhaps that explains how Common Core is still persisting despite our attempts to 'lawsuit' it into submission.

Do you read all the free ebooks that you download?

I've had promotions that netted me more than 20,000 downloads of free books. Even with the worst possible story (which mine isn't. Has a 4+ star rating across almost all retailers) the law of averages says that at least 10% of that could be counted on to read the next book, which was also free. It doesn't happen, so that leads me to believe that readers are simply not reading. They're hoarding. Is it true? Please, tell us...

Today's Book Tidbit:
Did you know that if you buy the paperback through Amazon, many titles give you the ebook at a discounted price? All of mine are free, and so are a lot of others. And, it's retroactive, meaning your past paperback purchases might qualify! Here's the word taken directly from the Amazon page:

Introducing Kindle MatchBook! For thousands of qualifying books, your past, present, and future print-edition purchases now allow you to buy the Kindle edition for $2.99 or less.

If there are 10 hotdogs in a pack, and 8 buns in a pack, how is that not a conspiracy to get me to buy more than I need?

Wisdom of the Week
Spewing your secrets online is like pissing in your own face. Yes, you get a moment of relief, but the mess still has to be cleaned up and the longer you wait, the longer it burns.
