Along the Bumpy Road of Life:
(Something For Everyone)
Let us help you reach your goals...
In 2013, I changed my mind about writing a traditional book, and I decided to write an eBook instead, or as it is turning out...several eBooks. Of the material I current have on hand, that would translate to about six eBooks, of about 60 pages each, and I would sell them for about $2.99 each. By doing it this way, would give me more name recognition and exposure. The new technology of POD (print on demand); and the ability to write and publish my own book, were the leading factors for the change from the traditional book.
I was not to excited about the thought of query letters on the road to nowhere; chasing literary agents and publishers all over the world, with nothing to show for it, etc.
In my view, the hard part has been done, that is, to write so much material over the post seven years. Although, it doesn't get any easier, I don't know much about writing an eBook, the learning process will now begin, as of the date of this article. (1-4-14)
Along the Bumpy Road of Life...
Like it or not, everyone in the world, is travelling on the bumby road of life, because we all suffer from aches and pains; illnesses; set-backs; failures; bumps and bruises; and struggle to make ends meet, etc.
Life is quite a challange for most of us, as we all have an obstacle course to get by, loaded with orange barrels; detours, pot-holes; barricades; and the never-ending of dealing with coneheads. (difficult people) Therefore, life is NOT easy for YOU...or me, either!
The contents of this eBook is as follows; The material is not from a lecture; a brochure a CD or a classroom, or the Internet, etc. The material is from my own personal experiences, which I have had to deal with over my lifetime, such as dealing with a stroke; blood pressure problems for over 40 years; diabetes; Ten years of migraine headaches; how I got a job, which lasted for over ten years with my hobby resume; passing a kidney stone; quitting smoking; losing 41 pounds and so forth
Orange Barrel Humor
(The Orange Blues)
I've been doing Orange Barrel Humor since 1996, and in 2014 I still do it. All this crazy stuff in the traffic colors of black; white; yellow and orange. The idea came at the International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta, which is held every year in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (over 800 hot-air balloons)
I told a friend that I was with, that there will be an orange barrel balloon up there in the skies one of these days...and sure enough and a couple of years later, there was an orange barrel balloon up in the skies at the Fiesta. All the scenes are laid out in bright orange and yellow paper, and mailed in bright orange envelopes, so if the reader gets a bright orange envelope in the mail...you'll know where it came from...
A few of these silly scenes will be added to the eBook, for the enjoyment of the reader, and to show the reader, that ideas can come from almost anyplace, etc.
Orange Barrel Institute;
(Orange, New Jersey)
I am not a psychologist or in medical of any kind, but the book contains tools to aid the reader to achieve their own personal goals. These are tools, that cannot be bought over-the-counter or by prescription, either. Tools suce as discipline; patience; determination; courage; resisting temptation; peer-pressure both negative and positive; perservience; persistence and so forth.
Simplicity is the best feature of the eBook, because it is written in simple language and is easy to understand. I have always used the KISS Principle in my life...keep It simple, STUPID! You don't have to be a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to understand this book. This book has been written for people of all ages and in all walks of life. And, all of the material comes straight 'from the horses mouth.'...because I've been there...I've done that, too.
Rest Stops;
(On the Bumpy Road of Life)
Similar to a side-bar, whereby there will be comments
on the previous chapter or article on the top half; an introduction of the next chapter/article on the bottom half.
The eBook should be about 60 to 70 pages in length, and sell for about $1.99 to $2.99.
