Free Your Products
There's this restaurant around the corner from me, and on the first day of every month there's always a long queue of people waiting for it to open.
People get there early and even mark their position in the line by placing a rock on the ground, then they go and do whatever and come back when the doors are open. (What's stopping someone from kicking away their rock and replacing it with their own? I honestly don't know... this is Taiwan we're talking about here. People do things differently.)
The first time I saw this line of people (and stones) I asked my girlfriend what was going on.
"Everything is free on the first of every month."
How great is that?
They give away their food for free and their business absolutely thrives. People get a taster of what their food is like and if they like it they won't think twice about coming back for more and actually paying for it.
Consider giving away your product for free. People like free things!
That being said, from tomorrow (22nd) till Thursday (26th) my mini book, The Girl with the Green-Tinted Hair is going to be free to download.

Put rocks on the ground, by all means, but you really don't have to.

FREE Download - The Sun and the Moon
Last year, whilst writing Happiness & Honey, I wrote a small story about the relationship between the sun and the moon.
I don't agree when people say that when you write a story, it has to be a certain length.
That's like telling an artist they can only use a canvas of a certain size, or telling a poet they can only use so many words in a verse.
Nope, I'm sorry . . . I don't agree.
This is creativity we're talking about here and its wings should not be clipped. It should be allowed to fly to unknown places, go on adventures and get to know itself.
I understand that publishers and all the rest have their guidelines. I once had a recording contract and as soon as the record label told me what to do with MY music, I turned around and said no thanks.
Even when they say they give you freedom, it's still within the limits of their own landscape. 'We won't clip your wings, but you're not allowed to go over there or over there . . . no, not over there, either. Over there is a no-go. Definitely not over there.'
This is why so many creatives end up going alone. It might be harder and the process longer (although sometimes it's not) but there's one thing that remains intact: integrity.
And surely one of the most important character traits for any creative person is integrity.
For that reason, I wrote a story and when it felt complete, I put a full stop at the end of it. It turned out it was less than 700 words in length. It's cool, though, it is what it is.
Please go to the book section of my site and you'll find it as a free download.
Keep shining!
