I've never used ingramsparks before and I just got to the pricing part of setting up my book there, and it's making me want to cry y'all. I'm trying to keep the cost of this book down for readers but in order to make $0.06 cents per paper copy on this book it has to sell for $7.30, and the only way ive been able to get it down so low is to make it more difficult to distribute and only offer 35% wholesale discount to bookstores, which then means any indie bookstore would have to eat half of the 55% wholesale discount they usually get.

Idk I'm just at such a loss for how to make this sustainable for me and my readers and indie bookstores when it's like this. This is why soany self pub authors are stuck at Amazon because at least KDP doesn't gouge you for print copies, but youre also massively limited on who can get your books. Not to mention being limited to Kindle unlimited on ebooks while the per page read is at an all time low, when it's still the main ebook retailer. None of this is even touching the barrier costs of getting a book edited or formatted or covered, none of that even touches the thousands of hours writing a book takes.

I would like to apologize to all.... probably somewhere between 700-1100 of you who just followed me for funny batfamily stuff. I know my blog has been stagnant. I'm just really fuckin tired, friends. Every post I think of has already been made. Every suggestion I get goes stale two sentences into me writing it. Even the good ones. I have no reliable well of comedy in reserve, only fleeting comedic caravans, passing through the canyons of my mind like the secret tunnel guy (and friends) from avatar(the last airbender)

#ollie yells into the void #im a little burnt out #i think im on the up tho?#i started writing again for the first time in many weeks!#so that bodes well #i normally would have either gotten rid of all that alliteration or played it up #but again #tired #comedic caravans #theres an idea tho #theres a poem about that #wish i could write it #comedic caravans crawling through canyons

ripple effect legacy // my tears are becoming a sea, M83

#weaving parallels but god at what cost #something something luffy inheriting the will of a burnt out sun #something something the things we leave behind (broken promises. pain. little brothers. cool fire punch moves)#see the significance of ace is that he spends his whole life asking 'should i even have been born' and then through the positive #impact he has on everyone around him he creates a continuing cycle of change where people reach out a hand to help others #he said 'im not sure i deserve to live' and then became the most remembered and loved and sorely missed dude in one piece #like it's almost comedic how luffy keeps finding his big brother in the stories and best qualities of all the people he comes across vs.#people who knew ace and keep seeing pieces of him in luffy #anyway happy new year portgas d. ace trauma be upon ye~#one piece #op #portugas d ace #portgas d ace #asl brothers #yamato #wano spoilers #one piece spoilers #CJ's edits #amv #monkey d luffy #straw hat luffy #monkey d. luffy #portgas d. ace #CJ's op watch-through
