Howdy;
Ok, I've got to vent, so bare with me.
This morning I was checking my emails and saw an email from one of my authors who did something they had absolutely NO right to do. They were not trying to help me, only themselves and now it has cost ME to loose up to $2,500. What the F....!!!!
First off, why couldn't this person be patient and allow for the process to run its course? Why couldn't this person contact me first before they did what he did? Finally, he had brought the issue up to me and I told him I would take care of it, which I was and which there was much more to what was going on then he was aware of, so why didn't he just back off and let me take care of it?
I get that we want our books to do well, but at what cost? This stunt has set me back again and I'm so tired of it. He's the 4th author who thinks they know how to run my business with absolute no respect for what I am doing. I'm over it. I advised him that he had until December 10th to buy out his contract and I advised him how much it would cost, which was a very low price for what it would cost him in court for this screw up of his.
I want to be VERY clear here, I am not homeless by choice! I want to live in a house or an apt that is mine, that I can enjoy the comforts that my authors are currently enjoying. I ended up being homeless because I believe in my business and in my authors works enough to put myself on the back burner to help make sure that their books get sold. Not because I enjoy sleeping in a storage unit or on a park bench!
When this type of crap happens, it doesn't just effect me, it effects every other author that works with me and it's not fair to them or to myself! Yes, if you haven't gathered by now I am SUPPER PISSED! It's shit like this that added to me loosing $100,000 and I will NOT put up with it anymore.
With that said...
Life goes on...I go on.
