It was such a struggle @jeezzle but worth every effort. I spent a whole spring and summer (while working 60+ hours per week at the day job) writing that book for a small press, they decided not to put any resources behind the marketing of it so sales fell flat then they took it out of print.

I almost gave up at that point and threw in the towel. Thankfully I kept going but that experience drove home the point that traditional/centralized publishing wasn't the way to go and set the stage for me to publish Alarm Clock Dawn on Steemit and then self-publish The Perfect Pause.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience at work. It's so unfair how much power management wields and how freely they abuse it. The that I've learned is they're often they're the most unhappy of all the employees so they take it out on others.

I really feel like cryptocurrency will be the path to freedom for a lot of people. This next year should see some pretty amazing growth. I wish you luck on your path, my friend.

As always, thanks for stopping by and for your thoughtful comments.
