1. This is fantastic haha

2. That sounds … more or less completely accurate, lol. I love that the very last step in Making Money is to actually try selling the book. Re-blogging 🙂

3. Ha ha ha! Sad but true.

4. Awesome graphic! I wish you could make it bigger. I want it as a poster to hang on the wall right next to my computer.

   • I created a higher-res version of it, and added it to my cafepress store (http://www.cafepress.com/ericmralph) as a poster. You can also get the higher-res version (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46118147/WanttoWritePrint.png) if you want to print it yourself. I’ve not gotten a poster from cafepress, but other things have worked well for me, so hopefully this works as well.

   • Only hang it there if you want to be constantly discouraged and too depressed to write.
     It is damn funny though, especially the conclusion to the publishing section regarding the marketing of your book.
     sigh.
     I’m feeling depresssed now.

5. Classic! I’m so glad I’m not alone in this.

6. Me, the introvert who must now market my book even though its scarier than writing an entire novel of my thoughts and ideas, loves this. 🙂

7. “The marketing of your book is left completely up to you. An introvert who started writing in the first place to avoid having to talk to people.”
   The mirror speaks!!
   Love it!

8. I love the line about “The marketing of your book is left completely up to you. An introvert who started writing in the first place to avoid having to talk to people.” So true 🙂
