If no one buys your books, can you still make money as a writer?

When you pick up a book  for the first time, see your name on the cover, see the publisher's imprint on the copyright page, have its own ISBN, get it reviewed on Amazon... . 



Your writing career begins. You'll sell hundreds of thousands of copies, you'll be  on all the talk shows, there will be a bidding war for the movie rights. Well, not always. In fact, almost none. The truth is that publishing a book, especially a new book, is very difficult, especially if you follow the traditional route. There are very few publishers who publish only a few books each year, and there are many competitors vying for those places. Not only do you need to be talented, you also need to have passion, courage, motivation and enthusiasm and  be able to handle rejection. If all goes well and you get published, there's nothing more exciting than seeing your book, your kids, the project you've been working on for  two years (or seven, or 10) published.

 You see, luck is the key to everything we do. If you have these and everything, it will take you to the top. Without it, your  novel may or may not sell well, and it won't do that either. If you get an advance but can't make a profit on the advance (sell enough copies to repay the money), you probably won't be able to get another book from the same publisher. Then you start over and try to find another advertiser, maybe even another agent. I'm specifically talking  about traditional advertising here. 

Of course, there are other options: personal advertising, small media, hybrid advertising. But ultimately, no matter which path we choose, we want people to read and sell our work.

My Father Importance In My Life

 My Father Importance In My Life

 My father plays an important role in the family. He is in fact considered as the head of the family. However, I feel that both father and mother have a distinctive role to play in bringing up their children. 

My-father-importance-in-my-life

 

While on hand my mother has s soft heart, it is my father who shows courage and strength which his children will later on imbibe as their qualities. He can be firm at times, but be rest assured it is always for the benefit of the children.

There is no doubt that my father’s role is vital in my life. His presence is vital for maintaining the balance and peace in my family. A father is the one who earns the badge of the stricter parent and whose denial of permission for anything means a lot to the children. I also admire my father and try to imbibe his qualities so that I become like him when I grow up.

My Role Model Essay

 My Role Model Essay

My father is my role model for many reasons. First and foremost I admire his passion for work. That is why he is so respected in his office as well. 

My-Role-Model

 

He is always there to help his colleagues even if it is not his work. In fact, one can always see him spending weekends helping others out. Moreover, my father is a simple man. He does not like expensive things and lives an easy and peaceful life. Also, he never shouts on anyone of us. I wonder if he ever gets angry on anything as he takes everything so calmly and takes his time to decide upon things

My father is my friend as well. I can discuss everything with my father, even those that I dare not speak in front of my mother. I know that he shall keep it a secret and give the advice I need. He is the one whom I can rely upon blindly during any hour of need, and I know that he shall be there for me..

 He is a hardworking and passionate person. My father has a love for movies. Whenever he gets time, he just loves to watch an old movie. In fact, at times we just fight as to who gets control of the television. But at heart, we love to tease each other and play as well.

 

My father does not like to sit idle. At times, on holidays if he finds me and my sister doing nothing and just idling our time, he gives us some task or the other. He is also much organised and keeps all his documents in a properly organised manner.
