If anyone has written a book and had it published Id like to pick your brain.  Shoot me an IM.  That is all.

When I was in 3rd grade I wrote a short story about a rabbit and his elephant sidekick.  It was 5 pages long and my teacher stapled the pages between a couple pieces of cardboard and put it in our school library.  Some kid checked it out and was late returning it.  He had to pay a quarter for his late fee.  I have yet to see any part of that quarter.   >:(

That's crazy. You can't make an elephant a sidekick for a rabbit!

The man. The myth. The legend.

Read about this publishing site a couple of months ago in some business magazine or another.  It gives you total control of pricing, covert art, editing, etc.  The only price you pay is the manufacturing, which is supposedly minimal.  Anyway, check it out.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

More royalties "the man" has screwed me out of.

I had a letter published in "Penthouse Letters" one time.  Does that count?
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.
