Comment on It is Damn Near Impossible to Motivate You to Write an Ebook by MikeFook

Thanks for writing… I have a couple books out about the subject – of course. Moving to Thailand – Your 2nd Life Begins! and Thailand Black Book. Those two will give you all the particulars. Good luck if you move!

I don’t like the kind of chauvinism we have, but you gotta admit that if you were ever in trouble in Thailand or, hey look, Somalia, you’d prefer being American than, say, Thai!

(Not disagreeing with your point at all; just trying to take that “bigger picture” perspective here…maybe it takes national asshole-ism for any one individual to make his or her way internationally….)

Right on! Love your attitude — just warmin’ up to it myself in many ways!

I came over here from a comment you’d left over at Konrath’s blog, about living in Thailand as an ex-pat writer. Sounds intriguing! But maybe you’re just an adventurer and not scared of military juntas and malarial mosquitoes??

Anyway, I’d love all the advice you got in that regard. I’ll explore your site some more, but if you comment back please lemme know all the “for-dummies how-to” kind of information about living as an American writer overseas! The eBook part I understand, but not the other stuff having to do with quality of life and so forth (I mean, how’s the water there? I’m serious!)….

Yeah I think you might need some help with covers…

Comment on Is It Possible to Become Independent from Amazon.com? by MikeFook

I had to go back and find this comment to remember who you were. Got it! However, you don’t just write 1 book. You write 10. Then 20. Then stop when you’ve got enough cash rolling in… Or, as in my case – write 25 books and hope that someday someone realizes what tremendous brilliance you have! I’m not making the big money yet… maybe this year? Maybe next… I wrote you back email – you do photography too? Cheers…

Comment on Retailers Slow Down Smashwords Payments to Authors by Gary Anderson

I am really upset about the reporting because, while I don’t sell that many ebooks, I have a couple in kindle select and don’t want to move the others until I find out how sales are going elsewhere. I have a cold today and it is driving me fricking crazy to not get the Apple numbers.

That is what happens when you are retired and have nothing else to do!

I know I have one free ebook on Smashwords, and of course it is jumping to the top of the lists. But if it is a useful marketing tool I would at least like to know in this lifetime! Sheesh.

Sure Kumari – great. Are you from Hawaii? I have a Hawaii site – Aim for Awesome – that has many articles about the state and things to do…

I love you for loving it! This is one of my favorite articles I’ve written ever. Though, upon a re-read, I just found a few things I’d correct. There are plenty of “positive” articles at the other site I do, http://www.AimforAwesome.com. Not sure you’re interested in that sort of thing. Cheers and thanks for the comment.

I like your energy. I like your goals as well. My kid is grown up and what i can say about that is, focus on giving your kid experiences over “things” and you will raise an interesting person. I share your goal with wanting to make Big $$ in 2012. Would it be alright if I cross reference some of your work on my yoga website? I think the motivational aspect is a good fit. Please visit and let me know. Mahalo!
