The Sibyl Conspiracy was the 1st novel I ever finished writing

1st draft took almost 15 years

My social media game is weak (for some good reasons) but I hope people might enjoy it.

@markemusgames There is also a scaling problem
when a slush pile involved full manuscripts being printed and mailed there was a practical speed bump where maybe dozens a day, 10 years ago it would be hundreds flowing in every a day, now with AI it would tens or even hundreds of thousands a day

@budman_mark Well, if book promoters are hitting you up then clearly you’re seen as a writer lol

@timmckay52 Financial support … are you secretly the heir to some famous authors, Fortune?

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@SmashedEars I would agree … I hope that as the reality none of these things make money that the fever will break

Unfortunately Amazon’s economic interest is these people loading slop then buying ads since ads spending not sales is their primary revenue stream from self published authors

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

Apparently there are 300,000 ebooks being released every month now up from 100,000 a month last year … I really doubt the number of people able to finish writing a book has 3X in a year

@jzpitts @NathanTheAuthor Couple things to keep in mind is the economics of retail bookstores …between the pricing incentives, payment for placement, consignment inventory, and sidelines

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@budman_mark There’s too much of a risk because you can’t copyright materials created with generative AI … why would a publisher or studio risk wasting money in something that they can’t possibly control

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@jmgwritten Sadly yes … I have a few in my life always chasing the new one and had to explain the realities of the book market space and remind them the gurus and course sellers are the only ones who will actually make money in this case

@haynesnell1963 I do ebooks only (as an indie I am preserving the physical and audio rights) but tends to depend on genre Sanderson in an interview said his sales now are 40% audio, 40% ebook, and 20% physical but most the physical sales are bought as collectible by people who did audio or ebook

@FictionsByAj You will also find repetitive habits in your writing that you don’t notice but hearing it you can’t unhear

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@FictionsByAj No set number first couple of passes are a passing it through a couple of different word processor because they pick up different things, then having the computer read back the text … then more detailed until I find myself make happy to glad changes or changing things back

Just first the dumpster draft of novella 3 this one was tough for some reason but came together in the end … now the question is short story/novelette of sequel to The Sybil Conspiracy while this dumpster fire cools and I can edit it
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@KemalOnor Given 65% of traditionally published books will never turn a profit and almost 50% of the profit comes from the top 1% of performers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

@jmgwritten It worth the price you pay

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]

Still free for a few more hours …

@CaffeinatedLiha Other than my novella or novellets 😉

Fahrenheit 451
Of Mice and Men
The Pearl
Old Man and the Sea
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Flowers for Algernon
Animal Farm

That should give a wide range of options

[CLBroogle @CLBroogle]
