Personas

I was reading some of my comedy stories in the religous psycho killers shit list, and realized again how far I have strayed from the whimsical.  I am going to have to start jamming out some comedy;   there is nothing like coming up with something funny enough to make me laugh.... even smile.  Most of my stories do not... though a lot of them start by me thinking of something funny enough to make me laugh... The book still needs an edit to be my final edition, the one i will buy hundreds of and start giving away at readings.

This is my new plan.  One War is done, so I am going to buy a bunch of copies at my discounted price, and then go to readings and do the comedy from the poet part, or even a short story.  If I am featured I will read from all the books.  Anyways, then I will give away three signed copes to whoever wants them and asks me first..  I will get them out to a good hipster crowd of writers in chicago, which is very helpful to a writers career.  I have not tried, after my terrible experience with a book publisher before, not to mention the lying, sloppy way the radio station was run,, to find a larger publisher.  I like LULU, but they are all about the writer marketing themselves. This is great, but I think about anyone would prefer an advertising budget and a grand opening and all that shit -- not to mention the money.   I really would like to make a lot of money, which makes my decision to turn down some of the unethical things I have sound stupid -- I could have been very rich once, but there was blood on the money and my very soul cried out not to touch a dime of it.









I am more than ever distrustful of the middling type of organizations that are available to me
