How many here are published? I am an author

I just wondered how the profits are for others on this site that have published a book. My book has really low sales and I hope to invest in some more to get the book going again. My book has 30 pages on this site listed under “success stories” on the main page. It’s called “OUT OF IT - an autobiography on the experience of schizophrenia.” it’s anonymous on amazon and other online book stores…hope to hear from the authors here.?

Congrats.
I have scraps of streams of consciousness here and there. I really hope to regain focus because I’d really like to put it all together. It’s been a hell of a ride.

I used to be a published author. But after I got sick I can´t write. So I´m impressed you manage! Inspiring! My head just feels empty, no thoughts, no ideas. I´m still trying though, to write about my psychotic experiences. Theres hardly no fictional writing about this illness, which is a shame. I would like to do something about that!

Published? Thought you said Punished, lol.

I week ago I send some poems to my editor, explaining that I´ve been ill. Usually my scripts have been more or less finished, this time I need some feedback. Writing has always been very important in my life, I just can´t imagine a life without it. For a year I´ve been struggling; I have no concentration, no focus. But I hope a cognitive training program will help. Your lucky to be able to write!

I published half of a book. Discovered that my Sz is not compatible with a publisher’s schedule. I have authored a whack of eBooks – think well over 2 million were downloaded before the company went bust. Of course, I wrote those on an up front contract. No royalties. Doh!

Currently working on a couple of self-published photo books.

Nothing published… so many people on here have written… my Sis and I have been wondering… maybe give the writing a try?

… her perspective… my head circus.

Maybe in the form of journal entries -

I have a journal publication. No, really.

I got it as an undergrad, something I’m pretty proud of. I write fiction sometimes still for fun, but I hardly ever have the energy for it these days, though I’ve been slacking off with work enough recently that you’d think I would. The big problem I have is that it takes very, very large amounts coffee for me to write well, I destabilize from drinking it within about two hours and that’s it for the writing,

i should post something short.
