They appreciate jazz and classical music and they hate rock. They communicate through chemicals. And they have a central nervous system, the roots. |

JM daSilva: I'm putting some information about asperger and autism here because until I was five I couldn't even interact or smile, then I started changing thanks to those thing I did and those people did the same. One thing I studied 'to be human' as I used to say to my mom was language and body language like this. I studied intonation, grammar, punctuation and many other stuff to learn to interact with people. I seriously do not understand why many doctors are not using this. One of the guys even mentioned spider-man, which was the comic book that started getting me to interact with people through learning language and body language. When I say language, I mean everything, grammar, punctuation, spelling, intonation, phonetics, linguistics in a sense. But to me it was not academic, it was just a way to learn to deal with people.

DIS-illusioned: What I want to know is if he--or anyone--would publish me...FOR FREE. If you're not a celebrity, even when you get into those big companies, they'll distribute your books, but they won't promote you. Becoming a celebrity is a good idea. I don't care because I'm setting up my own publishing house. I'm promoting mulata books little by little, when Beauty, Brains, Brawn is released I'll invest heavily in it. - | |

JM daSilva: Guys, I'm very happy my book, Spagtionary, is holding the position in the best sellers list. It's competing with the classics in about the same price range, and holding its position, even though I haven't done any more promotions because I'm testing word of mouth. Thanks for your support. |

JM daSilva: HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A VOICE STAR!!!! The icamiabas, Amazonians, are important characters in Family Killer, a Vincent M. Walker novel. So here is a proposal for you. I'm still preparing the subtitles of this cartoon. After I subtitle it, I need to dub it into English. Anybody would like to do it? I would like to use you. I think you will have fun saying the lines and hearing your voice in a cartoon. You can use your children, too. Wouldn't they love to do it? Just contact me if you're interested.

JM daSilva: Very funny. I changed the category of my book to short stories with grammar tips. Meaning that short stories is the main thing, but the grammar is a plus and I've sold more! lol. What does it mean? Spagtionary 2 will be promoted as short stories with an extra thing, grammar. Marketing is a funny thing. Spagtionary is winning now and in the area I want, storytelling. Yay! Thanks, everybody. Here is my position now. Best seller in short stories, free. I've learned a precious lesson today. Thanks fanstory and you guys. |

JM daSilva: Thanks a lot, everybody. Without you, I wouldn't have made it. My book Spagtionary hit number 7 in the Amazon Best Sellers list in the grammar category! Yay! This position will fluctuate, but the important thing is staying among the 100. Click here to see the ranking Number 35 in the best short stories Number 47 in best stories by single author It means I'm among the 100 best in three different categories, and I owe it all to fanstory and the wonderful people helping me edit the book. I couldn't thank you more. I'm so happy. Thanks, everybody! |

JM daSilva: Writing is the only business in which being an entrepreneur is regarded as failure. If a person decides to start their own company, they are regarded as courageous and admirable. When a writer decides to publish their own book, they are losers. Writers are so brainwashed into the classic idea of finding a literary agent and a big publishing house that even when they are a best-seller in the indie market, they see themselves as losers. |

I think the world of publishing is starting to recognize "Indie" authors. I want to share a story with you. When I first decided to write a novel, I sent a dozen or so query letters out. I got a pretty decent response. But one agent told me that while he liked the book, he wanted to see how well it did as an ebook, before he would represent it to a publisher. I wonder if many of the literary agents are adopting this same point of view. Big publishers are looking for a "sure thing". In the past, there was a stigma that if you self-published, you weren't worthy of a publishing contract. Since then, thanks largely to author's like Amanda Hocking, agents and publishers are starting to pay a little more attention. We all have different reasons for being published. Some, like me want to share our stories and have them appreciated, rather than make a million dollars. Indie authors are starting to make a lot of noise. Even the big six have gotten into digital books. I hope that our fellow writers, won't see themselves as losers, but rather artists. The publishing world is changing my friend and we are part of that change. God Bless and keep writing!!! - | |
