Monetary success is doubtful. Potential buyers (probably you) will wince, and balk and hem and haw and most will click away&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So why bother?<br \/>\nI wrote a book for the 2%.<\/strong> It&#8217;s something I had to write down for my kids, and to leave something behind that I want to be most remembered for. That path means you have to do it differently, because\u2013to put in bluntly\u2013publishers want a sure-sell and are trying to make money. They don&#8217;t care about the things I care about.<\/p>\n<p>I raised the money to make this book. In 2 days on Kickstarter I got the funds to do design it and do a small run and mail off copies to those who funded it. Now I&#8217;ve put it on the market at a high price. Chances are you won&#8217;t want to buy it. If you do, you will understand why I had to do it. There just isn&#8217;t another way\u2013and that&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p><em>I give (and have given) a lot of things away here at the website. Resources, information, tips, ebooks, graphics, etc, and I plan to write more things and create more things at modest prices. But, not for this one. It&#8217;s high-end and worth a different route.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you get a copy, let me know what you liked the best about the book.<br \/>\nI hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p>xo<br \/>\n~Lisa<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=thbloflicode-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=1320847269&amp;asins=1320847269&amp;linkId=2IEA7SJ4BHQMSEZC&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why I wrote a book that very expensive to buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,9],"tags":[4378,5325,459,4584,825,4937,960,4377,4697,1122,37,4716,1763,4081,5893,1921,1987,2046,5796,5965,5868,2248,2367,2501,2727,2857,5717,3284,3421,4869,3698,3711,5465,5577,3768],"class_list":["post-15652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-authors","category-books","tag-be","tag-best","tag-book","tag-care","tag-copy","tag-cost","tag-design","tag-do","tag-down","tag-end","tag-hope","tag-if","tag-in","tag-just","tag-kickstarter","tag-kids","tag-leave","tag-lisa","tag-mail","tag-make-money","tag-modest","tag-money","tag-not","tag-path","tag-publishing","tag-resources","tag-small","tag-success","tag-things","tag-tips","tag-why","tag-will","tag-worth","tag-write","tag-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15652"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15662,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15652\/revisions\/15662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lisadelay.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
