Dashed Dreams

Well, I was published for a bit there. Now, not so much. It seems that the Monday Quarterbacks have just tons of ideas about how this should have been done. Not that they shared those ideas during the doing portion, but now ...

So I guess that the two people who were dissatisfied are now all happy, warm and fuzzy. The other 16 are maybe not. This one isn't. And I probably won't forget being all cold and brittle. I wanted my book. I worked for my book.

But it's gone now. I don't know if it will ever come back. I don't know if 18 people can agree on things. I know that two people are on my shit list. They were able to whine, whine, whine, but weren't there for the work, work, work.

But at any rate, the book is off the market. There is no Lulu link that works. I'm back to unpublished in print.

I sure hope that the two people who didn't like the way this was run will take control of the "way things should be" and do it right their damn selves. But I am fairly certain that it won't happen. They will have said what they needed and then expect someone else to fulfill those needs for them. That's the way things usually work.

I will hopefully be able to come back here and post a new link to a print book with my name in it. Probably not. I'm betting the those who "knew" more and better will now crawl back into the woodwork and the book will just slowly fade away to memory. Because if they couldn't even be bothered to read their mails or message boards, God knows they will be far too busy and important to actually do any of the work that went into getting it up for sale.

So long author. It was nice while it lasted. More than a mere 15 minutes, I had days. Now back to my regularly scheduled oblivion.
