You need to have your books published either by a traditional publisher or, if self-published, use Ingram Spark so they show up on the iPage catalogue, which us booksellers use to purchase books for resale. Then, just contact your local bookstores and give them the ISBN number.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

It’s the only video game I’ve ever played and I’ve played it through twice, I love it!

It’s what I always wished Good Omens was. (Absolutely no shade to Prachett, Tenant, or Sheen. All shade funneled directly to Gaiman.)

Ah, right, sorry, I see that now. Thank you for correcting me.

Why did no one tell me Dogma was like that? I feel like I should’ve known about this.

Exactly. I’m pretty sure the folks who invented the wheel were not European 😅

Heck, a lot of psychology and wellness is “rebranded” practices that come out of India by way of yoga and Buddhism.

It’s the same with paper mills! In savannah, you could always smell it on overcast days. Clouds keep the smell in maybe?

Onward sorta has this, but it’s not as epic in scale. Highly underrated movie!

I’m not the OP, but I love using Ingram and Itch.

Itch is my favorite! Highest margins that I’ve seen.

I’ve never used it and never will because I have everything in Ingram, but $12 a year wouldn’t deter me, personally. I think it would actually motivate me to do more promo to reach the minimum. I imagine if you have a large catalogue though this could get hairy.

AT&T, Xfinity, and Verizon have all been going so slow since midday yesterday. Any Internet wizards out there know what might be going on? I got work to do 🫠

Basically, I don’t believe anything and I don’t know anything apart from that I am. Everything else is totally unverifiable.

I’m a skeptic myself! I’m more interested in internal exploration than belief. I teach jnana, which is deep contemplation of self. It boils dow to constantly plumbing the depths of consciousness to find out what you are, if anything at all. It destroys beliefs, so you’re already partly there 😅

Im not a doctor, but it seems like that hasn’t been the solution anyway. If you want to go the mystic route, we could DM and workshop some ideas together.

Are you open to ideas, or are you venting here?

People used to try to reinvent the wheel. Now I see we’re onto just renaming it 😝

The big readers do seem to go for books that can be read fast, but literary fiction is best sipped 😝

Excellent point, however, Ive been thinking more along the lines of *pensive nod*

That does make sense. Generally, people who want to write highbrow might be more interested in the clout of getting trad pub. I wish there was was a kind of blended genre with literary-style prose but genre-style fun 😂

Almost definitely yes 🫠

Why is it tough to find literary fiction in indie and self pub circles? Discuss!

I remember vividly my confusion when my accountant told me that if I paid taxes as an S-corp instead of an LLC, I would get to pay less. Individuals and small businesses are taxed higher than large corporations.
