My Book (Update)
I'm so ready for my book to be published. It's like waiting on Christmas. Valdor thinks my writing is stupid and that I don't need a career. But its something I've always wanted to do, he just doesn't understand. It's not really about a career or the money. It's more about entertaining people. Whether my words and stories make them laugh or cry, it doesn't matter, as long as my words invoke an emotion. I want them to feel something. Hopefully, the same thing I felt when I was writing them.
Right now my book has hit a slight snafu. At least the first book has. Two years ago when I started writing the book I signed up with Fastpencil. It's an online service that lets you write your story in a book format. I never realized how the "terms and agreement" that you check could screw me over but it has. Seems, I gave them the rights to my first book, so now my publishing company is fighting with them. The problem is Fastpencil is a self publishing company, it is actually owned by the same company that owns my publishing company. So Fastpencil, claims I owe them $2,000 to publish and $5.50 for every book sold. I only get $2.50. I'm staying out and letting the lawyers work that one out. The good news is they won't get anything from any of my future books, because I only wrote that one, using their program. Actually, it had a different name, ending and it was a lot longer, but Fastpencil doesn't care, they just claim its their book.
