I write books to pay the bills. No consulting, no leeching off family members, no paid teaching or speaking: only writing books.

How do I pull it off?

Given that malaria is still a leading cause of illness and death worldwide, this is pretty huge!

Look, just...Just imagine to yourself that every person in the service industry gets to choose one customer to punch in the face each day.

And then try not to be that person.

My uncle just finished 1.6 kg, 700 pages long dictionary of Northern Sami, a language spoken by around 20,000 speakers.

Sami are an indigenous people who have inhabited large parts of Northern Europe spanning from Russia to Norway for millenniums.

He has dedicated his life to advocate for their rights and preserve their languages and culture. This book is a major contribution in an effort to ensure that this ancient language will be passed on to future generations.

I have Cremet's permission to scritchle his ears, but NO BOOPS.

Time to list the sponsors in the manuscript. Which means I'm shutting down sponsorship sales now.

If you missed it: sorry, I've warned y'all. Repeatedly.

just took a lurching step towards reality:

ISBN (paperback): 978-1-64235-059-3 :flan_book:
ISBN (hardcover): 978-1-64235-060-9 :flan_book:

Today: final pass through , then take down sponsorship page (tiltedwindmillpress.com/produc). Your last chance. Seriously.

Then, full-on badgering!

A great writeup on the Disney/Marvel creator lawsuits.

IMHO, legalities won't settle this. Risk management will.
