As of right now, if my calculations are correct, I think I'm standing at about one copy sold (thanks Jade.) My mom is out of town today or it would definitely be two copies. But this is exactly how I expected it would start. All the best books start off a bit slow. I mean look at the Bible. It took how many rewrites to get that story correct? Exactly. But if you'd like to support me and have $2.99 to spare, I encourage you to go to Lulu.com and get yourself a copy. And if you don't, I encourage you to get a new job as $2.99 shouldn't be considered a deal breaker on the ol pocket book. And don't be confused when you notice my name is listed as Taylor Grace, I'm thinking that might be my pen name, but only because J.K. Rowling was already taken. All you have to do is click the little LuLu icon below and it will take you directly to the site:
But seriously, this isn't about the money to me (yet.) This is about me expressing my love for all profile pictures self taken, and all status updates that seem to make us all just a little dumber after reading. As I have recently learned, FbGirls can exit our life just as fast as they came into it. So it's important to hold onto every memory we can before it's too late. The Facebook world is ever evolving, so I like to think of this book as just a little piece of social networking history.
For as quick as I clicked "publish" on this first book I was already anxious to get started on number two. I dabbled for a moment with the idea of selling out by starting to write what I know really sells and could set my writing career in full force. And thats Sci Fi Romance. Vampires- saturated. Wizards- tired. Werewolves- too realistic. So what's left? Aliens. Two teen aliens from battling planets fall in love but must choose between their planet's safety or... Or a final rose. I sat down to write this epic love story but I had nothing. So like they always say, write what you know. Which brings me to idea #2: Sex, Drugs and Westboro Baptist Church- the church I definitely hate, but love to creep. It's a working title, but I'm pretty excited about this idea as it will require actual interviews with members of the cult. It's going to be a tell-all book based off facts, speculation, and a large part of my sarcastic opinion of this Satanic church.
So if you decide to have your own copy of "Facebook Girl" I thank you. And if you decide to click that link just so you can go to the site and chastise me I don't thank you, however I might do the same so I don't technically blame you either. Do whatever you must. For now, I'm choosing to bask in the glory of my first sold book.
