Why did I write the book?
To be honest, I struggled to put this together, which is strange to me. I have been writing for my whole life and I think I have been suficently obscure tht I have becong deeply uncaring of how other feel about me. I have been rejected enough to decide that I don't want to invite criticism from gatekeepers, so I swore off publishers, who are basically about what they want to see and put before the public. Publishers don't like taking risks - they like selling books to an audience they already know. Publisher books are not the primary source for any material and haven't been for a long while. Books are not innovative compared to stand-up comedy and live television. Once you are popular through some other media, then you can do a book that a publisher will sell, once the book is a guaranteed best-seller.
I am not going to be that popular, or popular at all. I won't bother writing a book to be traditionally published - I am not "a name" that interests them. I will self-publish so people can read what I have written when they run into me somewhere.
