I eat a lot of vegetables..... but we all have our weaknesses

And I do not remember ever claiming to be a healthy eater, although I do try to.... I did however state that I do not like bacon and that it was a vile abomination against mankind.....man you bacon eaters are touchy

Hey, at least I don't call vegetables vile or abominations - and they have been getting recalled way more often than bacon lately.

Day before going back to work after vacation ponderings: right... so really, all I need to figure out is how to regularly sell two orders of magnitude more books than I do now. And then I can retire. Piece of cake.

That's a simple plan - I suggest you put it into action forthwith.

Chop chop now.

You know... @gpseymour and I have a running joke: if we had a release party for every time I publish a book - be it my own or a translation - we would be chronically drunk and bankrupt.

I write sci fi and fantasy in the magical realism style and translate obscure works of Russian and Ukrainian literature. There is a lot of dialog, science, philosophy, and no sex, violence, explosions, or bogus advice about how to become happy and rich in one month. There are many long words and complete sentences. I love Oprah, but I don't think what I have to offer would sell even if she endorsed it.

Now this is a carrot cake:

Maple candied bacon carrot cake.

......... :O

Give whoever made that cake a Nobel prize....

I bought my wife an eighteen carrot necklace for Christmas. Does that count?

Whether she makes cake or not remains to be seen.

You are a brave man, brother.

I agree, since if she did that, I'd also be able to retire.

It's not ALL about you, you know... And you could pitch in and publish a few things too.

I pitched in. I co-wrote two of those 47,283 books.
