I want to be a bestseller so I can escape poverty using the only talent I have. I want to leave the city. But my sales remain low. I don't know what to do.

having a rough time.

****ing Amazon customer service reps, they've inaccurately categorized one of my novels as erotica, which means they are deliberately misleading customers. I'm trying to work my way through their byzantine support system, but at the first stage they've outright refused to remove this categorization. The funny thing is, they haven't so miscategorized the print versions of this novel, only the ebook. I haven't indicated from my dashboard that it's erotica, rather that it's a literary romance. The idiot representatives I'm dealing with haven't even read a single page of it, nor even the description.

I have been in deep depression lately because of my new skin problem that I mentioned last Friday. I went on a discussion board about that particular skin problem and I'm very confused. I'm hearing arguments about what works and what doesn't. It has got me so down so much that I feel tired a lot. Plus I rather hibernate myself because I don't want other people to see me in my condition.

The friend of mine asked me to go to a concert tonight. I didn't feel like going. He doesn't get it that I prefer not to go out on Sunday nights because I want to be more relaxed before starting a new work week. Plus the show didn't sound very appealing to me.

The day ended better than it began.

**** Amazon. Now they've removed the ebook of that title without even providing a reason! It's been for sale on their sites for more than 2 years without problems. And they haven't even touched the print editions! I'm hopping mad.

[Deilla]

Feeling pretty good. Had a few rough patches but I'm doing much better. Trying to stay positive and keep busy. Been marking things off my To Do List. Today I will mainly relax. I'm physically exhausted from all the work I've been doing lately.

[regretful]

Haven't been here since Sept 2018 - apparently I survived another winter in the northeast, which is when my mood plummets. I've been exercising regularly and eating much better. That and the sunshine - and my outlook - have improved my mood greatly. I hope that all of you are doing well, and I wish you well in your personal struggle with this invisible beast.

Feeling very depressed and all alone today. Nobody cares whether I’m here or not.

[Buffy01]

I feel really depressed and down all the time!

I'm currently writing a book myself! Read author who made it and ask questions.

I felt so sad this morning that I contacted my therapist and asked if she could fit me today or later this week. She has no openings.
Tonight, I have a headache. The frequency of them has increased lately. I've had one every day for about a week. I don't know what I feel right now.

Feeling depressed and anxious lately. I'm having a double-dose of health issues now. That skin problem and having lymphedema acting up on my left leg now. I've had that before. The skin problem is on my left leg and in other areas. I'm feeling like I'm going to die or something.

Believe it or not, even in those conditions, I worked out. It went well.

[Rose76]

I'm in quicksand . . . trying to figure out what I can grab onto to haul myself out of it.

Took 15 mg of hydrocodone at 1:15 p.m. It made me feel a bit better. I should get moving before it wears off. It will give increasing help till 4:30 pm, then stop helping about 6:30 PM.

I'm desperate.

Thank you. Good luck in writing your book!

I got a copy of the latest edition of one of my novels today, and it doesn't look nearly as good as I'd thought it would, based on the PDFs. However, I still consider it to be satisfactory.

As of now, I feel much better, The swelling on my leg has gone down and that was a big deal to me. I still have that skin problem but it is very tolerable even though I look very unsightly. It's sort of a liberating feeling being afflicted and then it's done with.

I am now over halfway done in overall progress on the third book in a four book series. I've spent roughly two and a half years so far on the series. That's a lot of time to spend working on something that hardly anyone has read and even fewer have liked. It makes me feel dejected to have been afflicted with this compulsion to put so much effort into something with so little payoff. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a whole cake and eat it in one sitting. That may sound like a bad idea, but it's better than booze, I've done that and it's a terrible idea to try and drown your troubles in drink.

[Spirit of Trees]

Feeling generally pessimistic and angry about my life.

[Rose76]

I'm barely functioning.

[will19]

I am feeling better lately since my minor health issues are improving. The swelling of the leg is going down and my skin problem is slowly improving.

It was slow at work. I was dreading going to work this morning because I had a task that I thought was impossible. I ended up able to do what was required and the manager "high-fived" me. He's a real nice guy. I worked out after work. I'm back in that routine again after about a four month hiatus.
