Oof I'm slacking. Hopefully I'll be way more active in about 2 weeks!

I watched Nathan Fielder's "You Can See Everything" today. Honestly don't think any other movie has made me think so much before. Will try and write a review, but the simplest way for me to put it is it's kinda like the opposite of Blade Runner.

Good morning POW community. Sorry I'm not as active on here lately. Just really focused on trying to finish my book since time is running out!

A classic

In a few days, my family is going to read (or listen to) the latest draft of my novel. That's when I should know if I've finally pulled it off.

I just realized that I forgot to write "by Ernest Hemingway" at the top of the story I published yesterday lol. Sorry for the confusion. The title is quite famous though.

You know I'm not one to hype things, but I think my book has a chance to be pretty darn good. 18 days left. Just need to put in some finishing touches.

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway. A short story.

My favorite crowd singing moment. Starts at 3:15.

It's a good sign that people come back to POW even after a long absence.

I just got a great idea, albeit one that might be a little morally gray. I have always been a fan of short stories, so I think I'll start posting short stories written by other authors and postingi them behind a paywall for anyone interested.

Back in 2005, I quit my job believing I could make it as a writer. I learned a lot from that experience, which was mostly don't quit a perfectly good job chasing a dream. Crazily enough, the book I'm trying to finish now is the same one I was trying to write back then. It's been…Show more

Believe it or not, my book is 30 years in the making.

In some ways, writing is a lot like engineering. It's all about solving problems.

2 days in a row @JardineCash. I better step it up a little =)

Trying to think what I should price my book at on Kindle. I have a number in mind but curious what others think I should charge.

In the meantime, I'm glad we have a small community who help keep this place alive. We are the innovators.

I use X to try and get people's attention, and while I think POW can do that too one day, for now, it needs to be for something else.

Might as well start counting down. 20 days until I hopefully publish my novel. Probably have more like 15 days to complete and get it into Kindle Direct Publishing so it can be released on the day I want. Currently focusing on voice and prose.

If you want people to pay attention to you, do something that’s worthy of their attention.

I also have a newfound respect for authors who managed to publish books before AI. I don’t know how they could keep track of everything, constantly reread sections for continuity issues, etc. Ai makes it so much easier.

Learned that if I want to publish on a specific date for Kindle Direct Publishing, I will need to submit my book about a week before the date I want it released, so I have even less time than I thought! Current word count: 64,041
