I sold books in one day. Not just one book. Multiple books! Thank you, buyers, readers, whoever you are, wherever in the world you are! The author portal keeps me well informed.

I eat all of that, including salads. I eat everything except peanut butter.

I really like this new author’s portal. I can easily and quickly see how many people bought my book and when each sale was recorded.

I know some women can’t eat because they aren’t hungry, and of course, I understand that. But others are hungry and deliberately refuse to eat anything to maintain their figures. That puts them at immediate risk of low potassium levels.

No matter how shocking this may be to my followers or how personal it may sound, I’m going to say it. I struggle with binge eating. I know it isn’t healthy, but, like other addictions such as smoking or drinking, neither of which I struggle with, it’s very hard for me to stop.

I honestly can’t understand women who say they can get through the entire day on just one salad. If I don’t eat a sandwich, pasta with meat sauce, yogurt, and dessert on top of all that, I can barely even make it to the living room.

Doctors in Florida tell you that you should exercise to avoid gaining weight and keep your heart healthy. Umm... it rains all day outside, exercising at home is incredibly boring, and when I used to go to a gym, I caught the flu three times in one month. I prefer walking around inside malls.

I turned on a religious program and heard them say, “The Greek word for ‘choose’ is ‘dokimazo’ (‘I examine).” Wrong. “Dokimazo” in Greek means “I try,” not “I choose.” It can also mean “I examine” and, depending on context, “I select,” “I pick,” or “I test.” That part is true.

Is it true that we’re only surrounded by authors, with hardly any book buyers, and that the likes and hypes under the books don’t come from readers who buy books but from other authors who want to commiserate with each other over the lack of readers? I don’t know. Just rumors I’ve heard from others.

Today, I realized that I recently met someone who doesn’t take responsibility for his own actions and instead shifts the blame onto others. If you’re guilty of something, you should have the courage to step forward and admit that you were the one who did it.

It’s a huge myth that authors only write books and never work 9-to-5 jobs. I’ve done both simultaneously my entire life: working 9-to-5 in various demanding jobs while writing books in between.

For me, too. I’ve had too much inspiration to procrastinate on the story. On the contrary, editing burned my brain.

Author M. I. Verras (She/Her) @miverrasauthor1.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

To be honest, I’ve never had that problem, although I hear and see quite a few authors saying that they do. I wrote both of my books without interruption, without procrastination, in a continuous, frenetic flow.

I barely have any time to promote my first book anymore. I’m at my 9-to-5 work day and night, and in between, I’m busy with the publishing process of my new book.

There are still readers of my book here, in addition to those on other platforms. I've found some. Whether people want to hear it or not, money from book sales helps cover expenses that a salary can’t. I’m glad I found at least this job. Other places weren’t nearly as easy to get hired by.

When I express an opinion, it’s ridiculous how many ill-mannered users and bots pop up in the comments to rant about it. I had to delete the entire post. Is this freedom of speech and “equality”?

You can state your point of view, but you aren’t allowed to use offensive words against me. Who said people should necessarily own cats? Would we like to be owned by aliens and neutered by them, for example? Besides, I commented on something completely different.

If humans have the right to reproduce, then cats have the same right, too. If some people here claim to support equality, they have to uphold it under all circumstances and conditions.

Okay, so that means we aren’t afraid of death or extinction. If we aren’t afraid of it, then we’re definitely allowed to neuter cats. I’m still afraid of death and extinction, though, and I’m a bit compassionate, too, so I’m still against neutering.

I admire that you aren’t afraid of alleged death, because I still am.

Humans k*** chickens for food, so chickens would have every reason to want us neutered. What if they called upon aliens to sterilize the human species? If we support spaying cats, shouldn’t we accept being sterilized by aliens ourselves?

I don’t spoon-feed people or bots information. Just as I do my own research to discover engaging platforms, find my own followers, and stay buried in my books after coming home from my new, demanding full-time job, others can do the same.

Too many bots have been posting hateful comments lately. I’ve been on a massive reporting-and-blocking spree for hate speech. At least I’m sweeping some of the trash off my profile. They still don’t get that someone might have a different opinion from theirs, or they expect a reply to gain views.

My book has been around long enough that I’m done wasting time waiting for users who claim to be book lovers, hype books with likes, yet never actually buy an indie book. Thankfully, I recently found a great platform where each book post gets 500+ reactions and genuine buyers within minutes.
