From where I stand, a WHOLE bunch of people signed up for that and are cheering it on with the enthusiasm of Nuremburg rally.

(4/4) Oh. And I'm pretty sure I landed in dog piss.

(3/4) I also scared the crap at of Leroy the puppy, who looked me dead in the eye and dropped a deuce while I was struggling for air. After realizing I wasn't chasing her, Ginny came back and tried to perform mouth-to-mouth on me by sticking her tongue down my throat. Bitch.

(2/4) Completely knocked the wind out of myself. Hit my head, shoulder, hip, knee, and ripped a band-aid sized strip of skin from my palm. I also let go of the dogs' leashes. Immediately upon realizing she was free, Ginny took off somewhere. At that point, I was like, "You win. Go. Be free. Bitch."

Great job! For me, the goal is to get better performance year over year. The ratings and reviews show I got the writing down. Now it's a matter of getting the marketing right.

Yes.

For me, I try to think of movie scenes that've made an impact on me, then describe them into the image generator prompt. For instance, the image I attached was inspired by this scene from the Mandalorian:

Nick, right now my ads are KILLING it in the UK. Funny thing is, they're floundering in the US.

Also, I'm learning to have just as much fun with marketing as writing, particularly with image generation.

In my case, Nick, I treat writing like a video game, with sales as the score. Five days a week, I'm a writer, honing my craft to make sure the book I write now blows away the last one One day a week, I'm trying to master my marketing. That said, this guy is a game changer:

Power, brother.

Hello Nick!

Hey! I know that guy! (Well, virtually, anyway)!

Gah! Don't want to toot my own horn, but my Eamon Tauk Space Odyssey is basically about a futuristic space fascist who, while immersed in combat, slowly comes to the realization that he's not one of the good guys. It even has corporate-sponsored concentration camps.
