As I posted earlier this week, I have undergone a mindset change. I’m sure I’ll lose some folks, piss off a few, alienate others, but I’m okay with all of that. I hope to open some eyes, minds, thoughts, to who I am and what I do. I hope to gain more faithful supporters, loyal readers; but come what may, I have to put it out there and tell the truth.
I’m over the entire “theatrics” of the literary game. I’m absolutely uninterested in the “bandwagon” reader, the “chronic complainer” and the twins “Freebie Freddie and Freda”. I’m over being labeled, pigeonholed, and the many asses placed in my face to kiss.
I write BookOperas; soap operas on paper for those that don’t get it. I’m not apologizing for how many episodes they become. Stop reading whenever you feel like it. I’m not apologizing for the length of the episodes. If your attention span is small, read shorter books. I’m not apologizing for the characters actions, physical dimensions, attributes, ethnicities, exploits or state of being. If it’s unrealistic to you, so be it. Simply because it’s not a part of your everyday existence, your corner of the universe, does not make it unrealistic.
I feel obligated to write great books, to give great stories, and provide great entertainment. That obligation does not extend to begging anyone to give it a chance, to gift it to anyone, to lower the price because I’m unknown (to you anyway). The work put in isn’t diminished because the cognitively small circle traveled hasn’t heard of me or endorsed what I do.
I’ve always written. I’ll always write. I share what I’ve written because I enjoy it. When that becomes more chore and burden, than pleasure, then I will cease to share and continue on with my life. As I stated at the beginning, there will be those who feel “some kind of way” about what I’m saying, but it is, what it is. Just as any and every person placed upon this planet, I am entitled to my feelings and opinion.
So now you understand my tag line #RideWithMe. I don’t make grandiose promises of being the most prolific writer ever to grace the pages, but I will say that I tell one helluva story that keeps you entertained. Perhaps while you’re touring around Amazon, BN, Kobo, iTunes, Smashwords, or GooglePlay, you’ll think of me and venture into one of my novels.
Big THANKS to all those who support me and have been riding with me since the beginning! #LOVEMYCREW. A big Welcome to all those who are new to the ride! Lastly to all those hating, trashing, maligning, stealing from me; may your Karma find you in the place that you’re in.
