You have to laugh at the clown world and continue to be yourself. Don't let them turn you into an NPC.

I've already made 10k a month for like 15 years selling porn.

It feels 100 times better to make $20 selling a copy of The Shitkickers, a book that came directly from my heart and soul, than to make $10,000 a month selling porn that comes from a place of exploitation.

I do not compromise my morals, and for that, I am starving.

Over 14 under 20, sold one to a skater a block away from the liquor store last night. I tried to sell it in the liquor store and the clerk said she doesn't have cash on her, one drunk guy heckled me about the bible or something?

There are a lot of people who are tired of the status quo and the rough look of the book is part of the punk-rock appeal. There is no true rebellion anymore so even a relative facsimile of an author guerrilla marketing is somewhat charming.

I need to get little paper cards / rings made to slip onto locked up bike handlebars, since the book is about a guy taking revenge for his bike getting stolen, maybe bike riders would find the blurb novel enough to order it.

Hope none of you wannabe writers take what the pseuds say to heart. You have to just keep pushing and keep bleeding your little soul out, never sell out your core values and you'll always be fine.
