Excuse me before i get to the subject of this post. Due to previous comments i have received from some of my Talkmarkets' followers, i plan to start this and any future post with a little bookkeeping. Now here is that bookkeeping: If you would like to purchase a copy of my new book, Globanomics, click on "Globonomics" up by my picture on this post where it says "Contributor Links".
Now to the subject at hand--Globanomics is a Book for the Holidays
When i first began to write Globanomics, i had absolutely no plan to have it written in the short timeframe that i did. Last spring i told some of my Talkmarkets' followers that i was going to write the book, but i told them that i was going to take the summer off, begin writing it after Linda and i took our end of summer vacation to Florida (i.e., late September, early October), with the intent to publish it by April 1, 2022 (next year). I believe some of my followers knew about this plan.
Well, here is what actually happened. I did take the summer off from writing Globanomics, while i gathered my thoughts and posted a lot of them on my Talkmarkets blog site for feedback. By the time, it came to Linda's and my vacation, i had essentially already written globanomics--it was just in a different form with all kinds of bits and pieces.
One early day while Linda and i were on our vacation, i put an outline together in about an hour, then i started going back and segregating my different posts into different "chapter-like" categories. It took less than a day, but i essentially had the book as i wanted it. Subsequent to that early effort, i added two ending chapters for the book.
Okay. I understand that, but why write it so fast? Why not take it easy and just stick with your earlier schedule for April 1, 2022? What's the rush?
Well, i will tell you. Last spring i thought we would be further along than we are today. Last spring I thought Trumpism would be dead by now. Although Trumpism is not the main subject of Globanomics--it is something that would kill globanomics. And that is the reason for speed.
So, after returning from vacation, i sat down every morning for about twenty days and i wrote Globanomics. Surprising to me then, it only took me a couple of more days to work through the Amazon self-publishing routine (it helped that i had used Amazon self-publishing before.
Anyway, so in less than a month i had Globanomics and i published it on November 6, 2021. Early enough for Thanksgiving, but better yet, as a gift for the people of the world for the upcoming religious holidays.
I assume 2022 will be the year that globanomics will actually start to be implemented world wide.
Good luck. I wrote a book once and self published it on Amazon. I was convinced it would become a best seller. I have yet to sell a single copy. There are probably some tricks, but I suspect those cost money, which I did not have. I hope you have more success than I did. I think it's difficult to stand out.
Thanks. Yeah, i know how hard it is to get noticed. Globanomics is my sixth book and my royalties last month for all six of my books came to a grand total of $0.42.
Although i think all of my previous books should have been "best sellers", reality has proven that that is not really the case. I like all of my previous books a lot, but i will have to admit that i put more of my "heart and soul" into Globanomics than anything i have previously written--although there is quite a bit of heart and soul in the other works, too.
