    Yup! Those numbers look about right to me. :)

    So I decided to start a self pubslishing company too.

    I see the appeal of the path you're considering. In theory, it sounds easy. Heck, during Kindle Unlimited 1.0, you might've been able to make some money at it, because this was the only point in the history of the world where very short books could make decent money, regardless of quality. (If...

    Happily, it's free to publish an ebook on Amazon. (At least for now. :)) Amazon makes their money by keeping a percentage of every sale. Hope this helps!

    How does Britain possibly leaving the EU effect the world?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Interesting insight on risk-mitigation. I also read somewhere that there's been an uptick of people buying gold. I'm not sure how widespread that was, but it was certainly thought-provoking. For curiosity, I just checked the spot price of gold. On June 23, it was around $1,260/ounce. Now, four...

    You're so welcome! And I'm glad to hear you've pushed onward and have a post you're happy with. Bravo! True! But alas, the cost-of-living here is on the high side. For curiosity, I just looked it up. I don't know how accurate this is, but it was pretty interesting. (Source...

    First of all, your work ethic and dedication to quality is admirable, truly. BUT...You were hired to do a job. Your clients picked the subject-matter, right? If they assigned you a topic, and you covered it, you should be compensated for your posts. Is your client in the USA? Or Latvia...

    There's a saying that good writing is the product of good editing. If you've done a first draft, you're in better shape than you think. Now that you have the first draft, give it a good, long look. You might want to rewrite the opening sentence. You might want to rearrange it a little. You...

    I, too, have read reports of racial intimidation, meaning that native Western Europeans are no longer safe to travel in certain areas, thanks to a large, influx of people whose cultures are vastly different. I don't believe it's "idiotic" to express concern when your culture is under siege and...

    I've gotta admit, I was pretty surprised to see that see so many people here, on the Fastlane Forum, believe that Brexit is a bad thing. Part of the whole Fastlane mantra is controlling your own destiny. To me, it seems that people in the U.K. are reclaiming control of their own country. Like...

    Imminent Threat Survival

    NOTABLE! 
    France has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the world. And yet, 100-plus people were gun downed at a concert not too long ago. Unfortunately, criminals and terrorists are quite stubborn when it comes to giving up their guns. And when this device is hacked, what happens to police...

    Imminent Threat Survival

    NOTABLE! 
    When I worked at a U.S. government facility, I volunteered for a 4-hour course on active-shooter survival. We learned that you have three options: escape, hide, or attack. In the Pulse bathroom, night-club-goers were really limited. They couldn't escape, and they couldn't hide (at least not for...

    Congrats! Wow, looking at that list, you've made some amazing progress -- writing, cover-designing, formatting, and more. It's funny how much you can learn by actually doing something. Even if you end up farming some of this out in the future, the experience should serve you really well. :)

    True. But there's different kinds of freedom. By finding a job that pays your bills, you will have freedom from worry. That's something I think entrepreneurs often overlook, especially when supporting a family. I know that many (very smart, successful) Fastlaners would disagree, but I think...

    I saw an article that mentioned that. In fact, I just bought a little tactical flashlight. Even where guns aren't allowed, you'll be able to keep your flashlight. Blinding strobe light, hey, it will at least startle/temporary disorient someone. If someone in that restroom had a strobe...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    I believe it! To me, the best romance books are flavored with something else, like action, mystery, comedy, whatever. In contrast, some of the dullest romance books are written by authors who only read romance. (I know this from participating in online writing groups. The diehard romance...

    Yup! But when I'm up against a hard deadline, I tend to let everything that's not writing (or editing) slide. I'm trying to get better at this, but alas, haven't quite succeeded. Oh yeah. For me, editing is fun (unless I'm up against a hard deadline). But lots of time, writing is really...
