Dawg Tired Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yes, indeed.... I got my first payment! What a big day in my life!! It was.... $6.28! Of course, I did not do it for the money - and I tried to price it so it would be very affordable. I could not cut out a royalty completely due to the publisher needing a cut of it. But Hubby and I had a good laugh!So, even though the money has started to "roll in"...... I want everyone to know I am still the down-to-earth person I have always been.... (ummm.... and, poor too!)

Dawg Tired Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Actually - It was a payment into my PayPal account instead of an actual check - I didn't even know I had a payment until Hubby ws trying to balance the bank account and there was a discrepancy between amounts paid out to PayPal..... A check - would have most certainly gone on the wall!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I've always dreamed of writing a book; how did you get started? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I decided that someone needed to give us with dysautoomia a voice so I started writing.... 2 years later I decidedIt was finished and found an online publisher that publishes on demand..... Not as bad as I thought and it did not cost me any money of my own... I only pay for the copies I buy for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
