And...87.93% of statistics are made up on the spot.<br /><br />And of course your mother will buy your book. That doesn't make success.<br /><br />I carefully qualified my argument with the phrases "To me" and "That's success as I would define it." Then you decided to throw a little party with my name without even having the courtesy to invite me.<br /><br />So the question is, then, would you like to have a discussion of this topic, or was this a private party I interrupted, only to find a straw man dressed up to look like me?Kirstin Morrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545496432563168334.post-4230390787847495942010-02-24T21:33:11.640-08:002010-02-24T21:33:11.640-08:00Mr. Sawyer's comments were in response to a qu...Mr. Sawyer's comments were in response to a question about print publishing, so your own stats, Mr. Brookside, about your "floundering" attempt at print self-publishing which has produced "just a trickle" of sales, and "days between sales" hardly seem to refute him. You seem to argue for giving up even trying the traditional route, which clearly has much bigger potential gains.

This means its sales rank can never go higher than 100,000 or so, and right now it's floundering in the 700,000 range."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
