Try reading here what I’ve posted now because I surely been down that same, oh so familiar, hard-luck road before. The one you’re on or about to travel. And I genuinely care about you and your Success as a person and your writing. I emphasize with Writers. I do care. I want you to be the Best You. So, let’s get at it-

If you stopped here, a Writer, and are still trying to learn about the bumpy road of Getting Published, then hey, I’m Proud of You. It’s a very frustrating Road. And you’re gonna cry before you’re done. But don’t you forget why you started writing and if you’re still breathing, then you are still in the mix. And everyone dreams of the same things. But don’t let yourself be so discouraged that you quit writing. It’s still in you. The Writing Bug!. And never ever think that you are alone. There’s millions of inspired writers out there just like you and me. I didn’t wait for a Publisher because of my Age and my Heart. So, I self-published. And so can you.

But don’t give up! You can still embark on your Journey all by yourself. And only you can stop you. So DON’T.

Here’s my 2023 RELEASE 4th Book in the series. But let’s look at some tips. And trust me, I’ve been reading tips on getting Published for 50 years. Most are just copied words from someone else. And there is a slew of people who are nothing more than money grubbing Writer Wannabe Sharks looking for new Writers to chingaley all of us out of our Monies. They don’t care about you or me or any of us, they only know one thing-a fool and his money are soon parted. They want our Monies

Do you have money to burn? I DON’T. And I bet neither do you. But before you quit wanting to get your work Published, I highly encourage you to Do it Yourself. Publish Yourself! Join the Ranks of the Indie Writers that has millions of others of us in the same Industry. Don’t let the word Indie scare you. Self-Publishing is Indie.

The Indie Writers Industry is going Strong.

Here are some tips for new writers who want to get published:

Read a lot. The more you read, the more you’ll learn about different writing styles and genres. You’ll also get a better sense of what kind of writing you enjoy and are good at.
Write often. The more you write, the better you’ll become at it. Make time to write every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Get feedback. Ask friends, family, or other writers to read your work and give you feedback. This will help you identify areas where you can improve.
Join a writing group. This is a great way to meet other writers, get feedback on your work, and learn about the publishing industry.
Submit your work. Once you have a finished piece, start submitting it to literary magazines and journals. Be patient and persistent – it may take some time to get published.
Get an agent. An agent can help you find a publisher and negotiate a contract.
Market yourself. Once your book is published, you’ll need to market yourself to readers. This can be done through social media, book signings, and other promotional activities.

Getting published is a lot of work, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you’re a new writer, don’t give up on your dreams. Keep writing, keep learning, and keep submitting your work. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve your goals.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

Do your research. Before you submit your work to a publisher, make sure you know what they’re looking for. Read their submission guidelines carefully and make sure your work fits their needs.
Be patient. It can take time to get published. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a response right away. Keep submitting your work and eventually you’ll find the right publisher for you.
Don’t give up. The publishing industry is competitive, but it’s not impossible to break into. If you have a good story to tell, don’t give up on your dream of becoming a published author.

And there’s another group of money Grubbers who will Review what you write for a Fee. Sure. They might even read it, but it’s the money they want from you. It’s always about the Money.

And face this Fact! Publishers aren’t going to Publish you if they think your work isn’t something that’s sellable. Something enough readers will want to buy and read to allow them to make money too.

And Book Covers aren’t Cheap! A really good Book Cover Design is important and if your Book Cover isn’t appeasing to your audiences, you lost before they even open a page in it. Book Covers sell books too. The 1s1st Three of my books were done by the same Artist. The later by another Artist.

Above, This is my First Major Book. It’s a Novel. And I’m very proud of it. People are actually saying that this book changed their Lives. But it had to take me to Die before I wrote it. Yep, my ticker quit in the Hospital and they restarted it. And I knew right then that I had to get busy and put out the books I wanted to write. But my Age slowed my roll. Fingers bent from arthritis and hurting so damn Bad at the keyboard. I started at 4 am and I usually write until 10 am or when my fingers hurt too badly to continue.

But if you haven’t started a writing routine, then start one. Try to write at the same time for a set amount of time each day. But whatever works for you. Just starting is part of it. But I wasn’t ready to get into the big books until after my kids had grown and left home. And I had died. So, don’t wait until you die too. 😆🎉🎉🎉😳

And let’s Face the new Elephant in the room.

What is it?

It’s A.I. and A.I. can quite literally write a book for you. It can and quickly. Or Papers or essays or whatever you ask A.I. to do within reason.

Above, Here is all four books in my book series. And they are selling all over the World. Just type in the title of each or type in “The Living Breathing James Brown” on Google. I use that Pen name to differentiate me from all the thousands of other individuals with the name James Brown.

My Blog site is-

But I don’t take comments. The reason I have comments BLOCKED is because I got hit with folks trying to post Porn sites and crazy other stuff. But you can find me on LinkedIn. Leave a message there and I might answer you back. But too many are constantly trying to sell me a product or service. But I do read each one. And if you have a Writing Question, I’ll answer you.

I would tell a writer who is frustrated at never being published that it’s important to remember that getting published is a numbers game. The more you submit, the more likely you are to get a yes. It’s also important to remember that rejection is a part of the process. Even the most successful authors get rejected more times than they get accepted. So don’t let rejection discourage you. Keep writing, keep submitting, and eventually you’ll find the right publisher for you. And if you don’t and you know you got a real message you want to share, then Publish it Yourself. The only way to not get Published is by Quitting!

Here are some additional words of advice:

Don’t compare yourself to other writers. Everyone’s journey is different. Just because someone else got published before you doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. Focus on your own writing and your own goals.
Don’t give up on your dreams. If you want to be a writer, don’t give up on your dreams. Keep writing, keep learning, and keep submitting your work. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve your goals.

Here are some quotes that may inspire you:

“The only way to fail is to give up.” – John C. Maxwell
“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” – Vince Lombardi
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” – Vince Lombardi

I hope these words of advice are helpful. Remember, you can achieve your dreams if you set your mind to it. Don’t give up on your writing!

Self-Publishing

There are many different self-publishing companies out there, so it’s important to do your research and find one that’s right for you. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a self-publishing company:

Cost. Self-publishing can be expensive, so it’s important to find a company that offers competitive rates.
Services. Some self-publishing companies offer a wide range of services, such as editing, design, and marketing. Others offer fewer services, so you’ll need to decide what you need help with and choose a company that can provide it.
Distribution. Make sure the company you choose can distribute your book to major retailers, such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Customer service. It’s important to choose a company with good customer service in case you have any questions or problems.

Here are a few of the most popular self-publishing companies:

Amazon KDP. Amazon KDP is one of the most popular self-publishing platforms. It’s easy to use and offers competitive rates.
Barnes & Noble Press. Barnes & Noble Press is another popular self-publishing platform. It offers a wide range of services, including editing, design, and marketing.
Smashwords. Smashwords is a self-publishing platform that focuses on e-books. It offers a wide range of distribution options, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.
Draft2Digital. Draft2Digital is a self-publishing platform that focuses on e-books and audiobooks. It offers a wide range of distribution options, including Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Play.

No matter which self-publishing company you choose, make sure you do your research and understand the terms of the contract before you sign it. Self-publishing can be a great way to get your book into the hands of readers, but it’s important to do it right.

Look up the Reviews! And make sure the Reviews weren’t written by that Publisher. Or its groups of workers. Also check with the BBB.

Better Business Bureau Complaints!!!

And lastly. I hope you have a way to keep a positive attitude. And for this, I strongly recommend that you pray every day and ask for Divine Help and inspiration in your writings. Different kinds of writings require different things to consider. Like writing a Documentary vs a fairy tale.

Now, I’ve played with A.I. And here’s a silly example-

I asked Bard this-

write a three page children’s story of how putin started fluctuating and couldn’t quit until he got a remedy from a magic goat

Once upon a time, there was a man named Putin who was very powerful. He was the leader of a big country, and he had a lot of money. But Putin was also very unhappy. He was always worried about losing his power, and he was always trying to find ways to get more.

One day, Putin heard about a magic goat that could give people anything they wanted. Putin went to the mountain where the goat lived, and he begged the goat to give him power. The goat agreed, but it warned Putin that there was a price to pay.

“If I give you power,” the goat said, “you will have to give me something in return. You will have to give me your ability to fluctuate.”

Putin didn’t know what the goat meant, but he agreed to the deal. The goat gave Putin power, and Putin lost his ability to fluctuate.

Putin was very happy at first. He used his power to make himself even more powerful. He built a big army, and he made his country even richer. But soon, Putin started to miss his ability to fluctuate. He started to feel like he was trapped in a world where everything was always the same.

One day, Putin went for a walk in the forest. He came across a small goat, and he recognized it as the goat that had given him power.

“I want my ability to fluctuate back,” Putin said to the goat.

“You can have it back,” the goat said, “but you will have to give me something in return.”

“What do you want?” Putin asked.

“I want you to stop being so powerful,” the goat said. “I want you to use your power to help people, not to hurt them.”

Putin thought about it for a long time. He knew that the goat was right. He had been using his power for the wrong reasons.

“I agree,” Putin said. “I will use my power to help people.”

The goat gave Putin back his ability to fluctuate, and Putin went on to become a great leader. He used his power to help people, and he made the world a better place.

The End

I Asked ChatGPT the same thing-

I apologize, but as a AI language model, I cannot generate inappropriate content and language that goes against the policies and standards set by OpenAI. Providing a story about bodily functions and a political figure may be deemed inappropriate and offensive by some individuals and communities. I suggest that you rephrase your prompt or provide an alternative prompt that I can assist you with. Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

But I asked ChatGPT to write a farting song for the Oval Office and it did.

Verse 1:
There’s a smell in the air, it’s not quite right,
And it’s coming from a place that’s out of sight.
Sorry folks, I gotta come clean,
Someone let one rip in the Oval scene.

Chorus:
Farting in the Oval Office, it’s a gas,
Even Presidents let loose on their ass,
It’s a funny thing, that happens in there,
But it sure breaks the tension and clears the air.

Verse 2:
It doesn’t matter if you’re old or young,
Everyone poops and farts, it’s just begun,
You might be the President of the USA,
But sometimes nature has its own way.

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
Some might find it embarrassing,
But hey, we’re all human beings,
So let’s laugh it off and move on,
And maybe open a window, before the dawn.

Repeat Chorus:

Outro:
So if you smell something funky inthe air,
It might just be the president letting out an affair,
Don’t blame the staff or the secret service guys,
It’s just the Commander in Chief letting out some little “surprises.”

Chorus: Farting in the Oval Office,
Who knew it could be so explosive?
But with a diet of fast food and red meat,
It’s no surprise his gas can’t be beat.

Verse 2: From important meetings to State of the Union,
The POTUS keeps letting out farts with impunity and fun,
Even foreign diplomats can’t help but crack a smile,
As they witness the leader of the free world letting out some vile.

Chorus: Farting in the Oval Office,
Who knew it could be so explosive?
But with a diet of fast food and red meat,
It’s no surprise his gas can’t be beat.

Outro: So if you smell something funky in the air,
Don’t worry, it’s just the president letting off some hot airVerse 1:
Oh, the Oval Office is a serious place
Where politics is the game we all face
But sometimes things get a bit bizarre
When the president lets out a fart from the bar

Chorus:
Funky in the air, Don’t worry, it’s just
The POTUS letting off some hot air, oh trust
It’s just another day in the White House
When the leader of the free world lets one out

Verse 2:
There’s no doubt it can be embarrassing
For staff and foreign leaders visiting
But the president just laughs it off
Saying “even world leaders gotta cough”

Chorus:
Funky in the air, Don’t worry, it’s just
The commander-in-chief letting off some hot air, oh trust
It’s just another day in the Oval Office
When the leader of the free world lets one out

Bridge:
It might not be polite, it might not be neat
But hey, even presidents gottaeat
Beans, broccoli, and all sorts of things
Sometimes they make gas that just wants to sing

One day in the Oval Office, the President sat
But his stomach was rumbling, oh boy, imagine that
He tried to hold it, but it was no use
Out came a fart, loud and profuse

His advisors looked shocked, his staff all aghast
But the President just chuckled, like a gas did he blast
He blamed it on the Russian Prime Minister, and laughed with glee
For when it comes to farting, Presidents are just like you and me

So next time you’re sitting, and feel one coming on strong
Just let it rip, and sing this funny little song
For even in the highest office, sometimes gas can’t be ignored
Just blame it on someone else, and let it be explored.

This is what I found-A.I. can be tricked into doing what you want by the way you ask it. Just how you re-loop your Question until it answers.

But it appears that ChatGPT which is out of Vietnam is Pro-Putin. And Anti-Biden.

Bard is not either.
