Tips To Creating Life Long Readers
Of course, when you're getting so many great books so inexpensively, it's only a matter of time before the books you own outgrow the storage space that you have for them. When it comes time to weed out your collection, you have to decide what you want to do with the books you are no longer able to keep.
It's your choice whether to edit the whole Book or each chapter at a time. There's a lot to be said for editing each chapter in turn and then giving your new eBook a "once over" when you've completed that part of the process.
Filing cabinets- Do you ever find yourself procrastinating on filing a new document/file because you need to take time to create a hanging file for it?

I went to the book store yesterday and stumbled upon a book I've wanted for ages, Snow White and Rose Red by Patricia C. Wrede. This was first published by Tor (I love their fairly recently launched site, which is awesome because they share all the news in the genre, not just their own news, with a frequently updated site. It's worth a look.) in 1989 and I've been trying to get my hands on it since I discovered Amazon sold out of print books. Unfortunately, it was one of those books that was never available so I just silently pined away. Then yesterday I went to the bookstore and lo! There it was! In the YA section! Recently republished by Firebird, which was nothing short of a brilliant as far as Firebird goes.
Speaking of the story, each chapter starts off with a small bit from the Grimm Brothers' version and then the rest goes on to show you the "real" story, the part where Wrede weaves together the random elements that made little sense in the original. Wrede masterfully captured the shifting nature of fairy tales and folk lore and then wrapped it around history like it belonged there in the first place.
Next, click here make a very pessimistic estimate of your return rate. Suppose that only 1.5% of the people who receive your mailing actually end up purchasing your product. This means that you will make 15 sales of $200 each. This might not seem like very much until you analyze the costs and profits. You invested $500 in producing the mailings and $500 to obtain the product. You had a gross income of $3000, and, after costs, a net income of $2000. This is a huge return for what was essentially a very small investment!
I had a thing about smoking weed and binging on chocolate and desserts. I've given up the weed (thankfully) but I still like sweets but nothing like before.
