Hello Again + About My Book...
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, my friends. It's been a while, huh? What a year it's been!
What's that? It's only February, you say?
Well, it sure is! And what a year it's been! Longest January of my life, I tell you.
Anyway, I'm popping in today because I want to talk about my book, The Smallest Sapling. Been a long time coming, eh?
There's a lot that I want to talk about, so if you're interested at all, details to follow below.
So, first and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has ever shown any interest in my writing career. My first book was exactly that—my first. There's more to come, but that's for later. For now, I have some information to share about my debut Fantasy novel.
Even before it was finished, a few people approached me with questions. They wanted to know the process. They wanted to know how exactly one writes a book in [Current Year].
Well, friends, I'm here to give you some news:
Writing the book is the easy part. Everything else? Ha, well... not as simple, I'm afraid. I'm thankful for the challenges I faced, however, and the lessons I learned from them.
Let's start with some stats:
Tumblr media
As of today, February 1, 2024, I have sold twenty books, whether they were digital e-books or physical copies (paperback or hardcover).
Tumblr media
And in totality, this is how much money I've made from my book in that time.
This might be well and good, until you consider...
...I've spent almost as much money on advertising the book itself!
I'm unsure if this is normal for new authors, especially those who self-publish. I'm unsure because, naturally, I've never done this before now. I wanted to take some advice from others before jumping into the deep end, so to speak. Sink or swim; learn as you go! That was my thought process.
I will say, however, that I am very proud of my work and what I've accomplished so far! As I said, I've learned quite a lot. I want to share what I've learned with all of you, especially those who have approached me and spoken to me about wanting to write a book themselves. I'm the first of my friends and acquaintances to do something like this, and I'd like to be a lighthouse for anyone lost at sea.
In a separate post coming soon(?) I want to talk about the writing process itself. That is to say, how to write a book, how to self-publish your book, and I'd like to share advice with my friends, contemporaries, and anyone else who is interested!
And, in the end...
Writing this book was, honestly, not very profitable at all. However, I'm not discouraged in the slightest. This is what I expected, after all.
Something important I learned: I am a little shy when it comes to just talking about my book to other people, even off the web. I know I didn't advertise as much as I could have. That 20 could have been a 30 if I was a little more assertive and little less shy.
This is also why most people try to go the traditional route when it comes to publishing their novels. They get big companies to do the heavy lifting for them, which is commendable, but just as perilous!
(More on that later!)
But whether I made ten dollars, or one dollar, or even no dollars, I don't regret it one bit. The journey is far from over, and I love, with all my heart and soul, every single step I've taken so far. It's a winding path, and my head is held high, and I'm chasing the sun.
I wonder what's at the end?
Let's find out together.
Until next time ❤️

hi
i play piano so i’d like to take this time to document the songs i can play fully (in the order of learning them), and rating them based on how hard they were to learn:
•mary had a little lamb, 0/10, literally not hard to play at all
•final duet (from Omori), 7.5/10, it wasn’t horrible, but there were parts that were absolutely horrible to learn
•good ending title theme (also known as “do you remember”) (from Omori), 4.5/10, not hard at all, most of the plot of Omori could have been avoided if they just learned this version instead. it’s cool how i can line it up to Remembrance though
•main title theme (from Omori), 1/10, this was so easy i’m not even kidding
•der flohwalzer, 0/10, learned it to make a danganronpa joke, but it was so easy, i learned it in about 10 minutes
•BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA, 15/10, will wood, i love your music so much, but holy hell this about gave my brainrot trying to learn this. this song is roughly 5 minutes, it took me months to learn, AND YOU HAVE TO SING TO IT. singing to this song while playing it is like spewing buzzwords rapid fire while trying to slam your fists into your keyboard in a coherent way, AND THEN having to deliver that 5 paragraph essay of a monologue in the middle of the song, which I CANT EVEN DELIVER. I HAD TO SWITCH TO THE BLACKBOXWARRANT VERSION OF THE MONOLOGUE SO I COULD ACTUALLY FORM A SENTENCE. anyways, my favorite piano song i’ve ever learned, i love it so much
•Skeleton Appreciation Day in Vestal, N.Y. (Bones), 10/10, so complicated, i almost wanted to rip my bones out by the time i got to the ana stands and rends her rancid meat part. AAAAAAAAA
anyways, thank you, i really wanna learn White Knuckle Jerk next, because it’s my favorite will wood song (YEAH I SAID IT, FIGHT ME), thank you for your time

Silent Reading Everyone has a chapter of their life they'd rather not read out loud, times and testimonies they share humbly with an appropriate few, and a wisdom that only stems from a fool's experience. As tempted as we are to let those pages define or derail us, we have to remember that our story does not end there. If we repented, learned, and grew from that chapter - that's where many of our spiritual journeys began. Not a single page was a surprise to God. He used our broken pieces to not only get our attention but also to create something even more beautiful. Turn the page, keep going, and find peace in knowing that it's your plot twist that aligned you with purpose. your story is far from over, and there is no better time to revise it than now.

Philippians 4:9 (NLT) - Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

I learned that just beneath the surface there’s another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn’t find the proof. It was just a kind of feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force—a wild pain and decay—also accompanies everything.
