Time to Work on Books

Well, I'm not bothering to do much work on my blogs anymore. It's just too depressing to see how many subs I'm getting from those 2 blogs that used to cost $1.99 and are now 99 cents. So damn annoying.

I'm working on a book called The Lady and the Tiger...Moth. About a year ago, I created a comic strip with that title, featuring a female pilot as the main character, and hired an illustrator to draw 30 strips for me. I submitted this to the King Syndicate, and never got any response. So, I decided to convert it into an ebook. I broke down each strip into single panels, and I'm in the process of writing a sequel to it, which I hope to have finished tomorrow.

I will then publish it, and market it, and recount my sucesses here.

Amazon does the dirty on us

My Rush Limbaugh Report blog, price $1.99 since its inception 3 months ago, has almost 200 subscribers. Things were going great.

Today, without warning, I see that the price has been lowered to 99 cents!

I've got over 150 subscribers with new subscriptions daily, and they lower the price on me!

I am soooo pissed off!
