A bit of a side win here, but I actually wrote my first book and published it for sale on Amazon. It's something I always wanted to do but I thought the process was much harder than I expected. Turns out, it was really easy.
Cool huh? Goes out in a few days once it goes through the amazon review process. Apparently it's rigorous and it takes a little longer than if it wasn't your first book on Amazon. I don't know but this gives me the really good feels and something I've always wanted to accomplish in my life. Turns out the system was so easy that I'll probably go about publishing a series and promote them on my personal YouTube channel.
Anyway,
I grabbed a few people from hive on the way. Turns out there were a few that were as interested as I was. There was a fair few of us too, although some people never made it the whole way through. Two people that stood out to me though were @deraaa and @hetty-rowan - Hetty managed over 10,000 words, and Dera managed over 7000. All three of us have our books in the review process!
We had quite a few people try though, and some come in for a nose. I know @niallon11 and @abenad got as far as writing out their outlines but they went quite quiet after that. That being said it's definitely not for everyone writing a book, and something you should be prepared to do only if you have something to say, or it's worth saying.
Also @doombot75 as a notable mention who stayed with us for the majority of the time and was our cheering squad for the entire process but I don't know how involved they were because they never shared anything.
But that's an interesting new avenue to take up now, is authoring, something I've wanted to do my whole life and was told that only losers do this. And here we are, after helping thousands of people in my life I continue to do so through my shared struggle. I love it. Very proud.
But, it's back to BRO after that short stint away. Since I know the process I'll get writing but at a much slower pace. There's no way I want to do a book in less than seven days again, I want to produce something lengthier and with more substance next time. I'm sure I have a lot to say!
And that's it for now. Let's get back to earning!
