Being a bestseller and an award-winner

Did winning the award change me?
Yes, I changed a great deal. After the award, I became more insecure and concerned about the quality of my work, until this month.

Winning the award meant little for the book, as in the three years since the award it has only sold one copy - so much for its value to the readers. 


Bestseller
To some of my writing colleagues, I am classed as a bestseller, the term is relative in that I sold more than some of them - I am far from making any large amount of money from writing. This is one reason for my change in attitude  https://hereiamattheedge.wordpress.com/2015/12/07/on-line-writing-jobs/.

With one high-profile book selling in a forty-nine book selection on three sales platforms, I would hardly say that I'm a #bestseller.

I am offended again

Image
 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

Warhammer Limited Edition books for sale

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
