I hate my job. Well, I hate the whole working for living aspect of it. I just don't like working. I want to spend the rest of my life as a lazy bum. That's all. Is that so wrong? So I prayed. And prayed. And prayed some more. All I want is a better life, a good life that doesn't include the four letter word that is W.O.R.K. And this book, my fellow worker bees, is the answer to my prayers.I'm not good with words. Wasn't good in my native language and worse in English. So naturally, making money by publishing ebooks had not once in my life occurred to me. That is, until I came across this wonderful book. It gave me hope and my life a purpose. I started following Russell Blake (I'll refer to him as "The Blake" from now on) on twitter, and subscribed to his blog so that I can get the latest bits of wisdom The Blake deigns to share with us. I'm going to be rich. I'm so going to be filthy rich by selling gazillion ebooks in no time.I think I'll go the route of romance novels since I recognize the familiar writing techniques described in this book used in many of those romance novels out there, and hence it would be so much easier to plagiarize - I really don't have to come up with interesting plots, and just pretend the characters' misunderstanding and/or stubbornness and/or plain stupidity are the interesting plots, and repeat them "plots" by monologues and reminiscence and such, so that the readers will think the book has many interesting plots. And the readers will fall for it too because I'm smarter than them for buying The Blake's book and applying the techniques described whithin.I'm so quitting my job as soon as I publish my very first ebook using the tips and techniques detailed in The Blake's book. I had a very bad day at work today (sorry for the four letter word). But following The Blake's advice, I started imbibing upon coming home, and folks, my day (what? it's night already?) started looking better in no time.This book is God-sent. The Bible on how to do all things ebook publishing if you will. I had once suspected, after reading his book, The Delphi Chronicle Trilogy, that The Blake had been a government assassin before he decided to cash in by publishing a tell-all book and went into hiding in some hole in Mexico where he has to fight off hordes of satan's minions disguised as clowns and chimps every night. I was wrong. When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. Now I firmly believe The Blake is a deity of some sort. With a cool name... which reminds me, I think I'll use Russell Blake as the name of the main character of my book, a naked ice dancer who falls in love with Shakira. Please keep on eye out for my book, "The Naked Ice Dancer."P.S. I hope The Blake's tweets are not copyright protected or The Blake didn't trademark "The Naked Ice Dancer."
