Hello. I hope you are all well and having a good day.

After five years of working solely in an office to get the business off of the ground, this is a summary of those years. I have barely left the office in the first five years of working on the business. The days have included many thirteen to twenty hour days of work. The first five years running the business have been incredibly difficult and not fruitful at all financially. There has been barely any time for socialising. Making a living from writing is a tough old business and very competitive especially because of not having a literary agent and because of working with a shoestring budget. The support I have received has been magnificent and greatly appreciated every single day and will continue to inspire me for the rest of my life.

I have absolutely no energy left after fifteen years of work on my writing and creating ideas. I am going to take the next couple of years very slowly and spend the next couple of years recovering, and that comes after two years of recovery already. The sheer amount of work that went into writing thirty one books and creating over a thousand ideas and collaborating with the kind people who so generously supported my writing has left me totally exhausted and I have no energy left. Rest and re-cooperation is much more important than business and I care about the business and the time and the trouble and effort people have put into supporting my writing. There will still be lots of products on sale and regular updates on the business and promotion and products.

This is a summary of the first five years of running a business. COVID-19, starting of the business, kind people supporting me and my writing career, mental and physical burnout, deep vein thrombosis, lack of socialising, long hours of work, extreme exhaustion, cash flow problems, happiness because of doing something I love, unhappiness because of extreme exhaustion and not achieving much and not being able to get out of the office and work on projects that would have allowed to be more sociable, disappointing lack of sales, frustration, mostly working online, barely leaving in the office, working 13 to 20 hours a day.

For the last several years the kind people who have been incredibly kind and supportive and who got behind my work have been extremely generous with their time and support and it means a great deal to me. I would have loved to work out of the office more over the last five years, and the kind people who supported me and who tried to encourage me to get out more and the enthusiasm for my work was deeply and sincerely appreciated. Unfortunately I could not get out of office and do loads of promotion in public as there was so little money coming into the business, and for the first five years there has been a cash flow problem, so I could not achieve what I have wanted to do, or what I wanted to achieve.

Also, starting a business during COVID-19 was not particularly sensible, and then I was burnt out and exhausted after thirteen years of work on my writing and ideas.

The brilliant support I have received means a great deal to me. I can only apologise to the people who have supported me and my writing and who were expecting me to go out more and do more on the promotional front. It was a very disappointing five years of business, and incredibly unsociable, and sitting in an office for five years and barely going out is not exactly great for mental health and mental and physical burnout. Still, I am greatful of all the support I have received.

To improve sales I have enlisted Marbalism/AI/Artificial intelligence to try and drum up some sales.

I would love to be out much more regularly and promoting my writing heavily in public and around the world. Fingers crossed employing AI will improve cashflow and I will be able to get out and do a bit a more on the promotional front and attend events and promote my writing that people so kindly supported and more effectively.

I am also looking for sponsors of my writing if anyone would like to support my writing and help me promote my writing more effectively. Any financial support and sales of my products is always deeply and sincerely appreciated.

Once again, a great big thank you goes out to all those who have taken an interest in my writing and who have been kind enough to help me promote my writing and support my writing.

Warmest regards and best wishes

Yours sincerely
