My wife passed away tonight, just three months after she was diagnosed with aggressive small cell lung cancer that had spread to her liver and bones.
She is no longer in pain, and for that, I am thankful.
52 years together is not long enough, but I will find her again!

It's funny how when an Oncologist poisons your loved one over a long period of time, everyone is "Oh, they did such a good job!"
But when you try to do that at home, somehow the police want to talk to you about it.

Try not to type too much for the next few days she said.
Well, no duh. Only using 1 finger on my right hand kind of slows things down a bit.

My wife passed away last night, and I can't get them to transfer her phone data and minutes over to my phone.
Customer service wouldn't transfer my call to a supervisor either because they are trained to take these calls.

If you are the praying kind, I could use one for my wife tonight.
She was just re-admitted to the cancer hospital this afternoon.
She is in rough shape.
They're not sure if her cancer is back, or if it's something else.

So...
My wife was lucid enough to make the decision for the Ds to NOT go to any extreme life saving measures if she has a heart attack or stops breathing.
She was too weak to hold the pen so I had to sign the papers.
Just suck it up and do what she wants.

That sigh of relief you give when your Oncologist says, "You've been Cancer Free for 4 & 3/4 years now. I think it's time we tried taking you off your maintenance chemo dose so the side effects will end."
Then, you get your 2nd month's off it blood test results.

I just had someone tell me
I'm charging too LITTLE for my e-books @ 2.99ea, (even for my trilogies) and people would think they aren't any good because they're too cheap.
Seriously?
You wouldn't buy a book because the author wants you to read the book over making $?

Diagnosed with CML in 2016. Wasn't supposed to make it past Christmas. Was put on Sprycel (Dasatinib) and have been Cancer free for 4 1/4 years.
Now on the lowest dose and have an occasional pleural effusion (fluid in the sack surrounding the lungs).

Lifting up other authors does not hurt your chances of selling YOUR book, it increases it.
When an author gets someone to read, & that person likes & finishes that book, they want more.
That's where we come in.
It's up to us to fill that void and make people happy

A beta reader is supposed to HELP the writer. You offered to be a beta. If you give up after only a few words, what kind of effort did YOU put in? If it's bad, tell them so, but tell them what they did wrong and how you think they should fix it.

Not a big number, but nothing to sneeze at.
Today I posted 13 different book promos.
They only got 12 re-posts & 32 total likes after I deducted my re-posts.
The frustration with this site is real.
The struggle to be seen is real.
Why is it so hard?

The best thing about being indie is being able to correct your mistakes and re-publish the fixed version.
The worst thing is when people point out those mistakes in public instead of messaging you to let you know so you can fix them.
Most indies can't afford an editor.
