I bought a domain name, and even purchased a website but I am not having any luck getting it to look good, and in fact, I can't even get it to come up when I type in my domain name. I just get that the site is under construction. Blogger sounds easier, but now I have to figure out how to get my domain name off the one under construction.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267066733031149882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115628743473451789.post-40639425538060416732012-11-10T07:41:45.340-08:002012-11-10T07:41:45.340-08:00I wonder how many authors are experiencing the sam...I wonder how many authors are experiencing the same trend despite releasing 13 new books?

James (lol). <br /><br />I just started and will say that I'm just shooting to get more in the black as I continue in my first year. <br /><br />I can see that if Barnes and Noble altered things to bury erotica and such (as I'd seen your write on before), that it'd be very very hard not to have those sales suffer. People buy what comes up in that search box. Also, I think there's most likely going to continue to be a trend where traditional romance or even more rom-com stuff in book form is dead. Thanks to Fifty Shades (vanilla as it was in reality), that people are going to be looking at least for more intense erotica and with as much sex as one can cram in there ;)<br /><br />I hope things get better, and I do hope in 2013 you find something under your erotic names/pen names that really hits it big :P<br />J Bridgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284337651039098344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115628743473451789.post-19159987975927646202012-10-28T21:18:45.108-07:002012-10-28T21:18:45.108-07:00i totaly agree on that and wow, not thought out li...i totaly agree on that and wow, not thought out like at all.J Bridgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284337651039098344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115628743473451789.post-27603151811609631952012-10-15T18:27:44.865-07:002012-10-15T18:27:44.865-07:00Bad is in the eye of the beholder.

Here's my thing;...I agree...for the most part. Here's my thing; I'm an author. I've written a poor quality work (intentionally). I did so because of something I learned as a photographer and a graphic designer: what I think is garbage, the common person will mostly likely eat up. It was probably one of the most important lessons I've learned. People are fickle. People have no idea what art is. Regardless of whether or not it's garbage, people will accept it so long as others do. People, in general, are followers. <br /><br />Call it cynicism on my part. I was a rapper, once; nobody listened to the music I knew was genius. EVERYBODY listened to my commercial, watered-down, woman objectifying, wig-splitting garbage. This is the state of the world. Garbage sells because people are not sophisticated enough to handle anything beyond that, and to find out what is truly, truly beautiful... Or, the producers of said garbage are the true geniuses, and we're the ones putting out garbage... For my part, I say exploit it where you can, so long as you don't sacrifice yourself in the process.Sahm Ataine Kinghttp://sahmataineking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115628743473451789.post-15678363853198893462012-10-08T15:45:07.871-07:002012-10-08T15:45:07.871-07:00I'm one of her fans too.
