Chapter 24: Tecate Virus – Uncertainty for All – Tits Out at Dandy’s
Chapter 24. Fucking Tijuana. I woke up feeling sick. My head hurts. It feels hollow. I have a bit of a cough. Not much mucus though I am spitting more often than normal. I got that Tecate Virus. Except, I didn’t drink Tecate yesterday. It might be the Corona, but I really doubt it. I…

Drinking my Earnings – Done Spamming the Book (Working on the Next One) – LOTR Paparazzo Times (That One Time I Talked to Frodo Baggins)
I woke up at 3:00 a.m. today. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I started watching LOTR The Two Towers for the millionth time. It’s an odd concept to think of this movie as old. And Christopher Lee is gone. I saw a lot of the people in LOTR back in the paparazzo days.…

Post 543: Book Report Print and Digital – I Don’t Want to Work Ever Again Though My Work is Awesome – Selling Books is Not Easy
This is post 543. That’s a lot of fucking posts. Selling a book is hard yo. I should have done something else that I can sell. Like cookies. People like cookies. Selling cookies is probably easier. Or burgers. Or brewed my own beer. You know… things people buy. People don’t buy books. I just get…
