Ivory soap slogan "99-44/100% Pure" was cleverly invented by Harley Proctor who with the help of chemists determined that Ivory soap was only 56/100 pure. Proctor simply subtracted 56 from 100 and came up with "99-44/100% Pure"

The meaning of life is messing around. So throw that book you wrote up on KDP. Yeah, with your canva cover with stock footage and everything. And the free version of grammarly as your editor. Do it. DO IT. The haters make you stronger. #writingcommunity #authors

Question for the other #authors on bksy - for those of you with foreign sales, what do you do with your author copies? It seems a shame to have them sitting on my shelf. Normally I give them away, but I'm not sure how in different languages. How do you find homes for your extra books?

I made a dirty martini and managed to work on my book for a bit. Not too bad for a Sunday night.
