UPDATE ON THE 12-STEP PROGRAM

Well, I have fallen off the wagon twice now. Each time because I let my goals slip past me and didn't follow through on the program. Last night was the second time I folded and overindulged in sugar. I'm a little scared to look at my blood glucose this morning, but I write my numbers down so I shall have to look at this morning's number for a long time and it will remind me to proceed with caution in my diet. How can I have will power in some areas, and almost none in others? I still have a lot of growing up to do.

Another thought has been racking my mind. I am operating in a bubble as to how many, if any, books I have sold since June 2013. There are absolutely no records as to what has been happening with the book and I am becoming quite worried. Many folks have told me that they have bought the book, but I don't know if it was an e-book or a print book that they bought. That is the only problem I have had with Outskirts Press, they don't let you know anything for about the first three months about how your book is selling. I guess I must just have to have patience, because after that initial three months you do learn regularly how the book is doing. I have days when I believe the book is doing well, counterbalanced with fear that not a single book has been bought by anyone. Now, after reading my second review and having a professional reader say that my book is offensive to her, I worry that I may have offended others as well. The people who talk to me about the book all seem to love it and have started asking for a sequel-which is being revised as we speak. If you would care to read the two reviews that my book has generated-one a five-star review that raved about the book, and the second that really took exception to my book-gave me three-stars but said that I had offended her mightily. Anyway, if you are interested, you can find the reviews by going to amazon.com/books and then search for "THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor". When the book description is given there is a place for reviews from your readers and you click on the number of reviews and it takes you to the review page. I would sure love to hear about your reactions to the reviews, or your thoughts about how the book has affected you.

Thank you for bearing with me in the more depressed times as well as the good news times. You give me the inspiration I need to keep on the path of positivity. I guess that I'm having fear and doubt when I should be creating positive messages from what has already come to pass. Thank you for your continued support!

Would you care for the url that takes you to my book's web-page? There you will find a reading from the book and other information:  www.outskirtspress.com/thegodgames

Have a wonderful day, and may it all be positive!
