My new book

Postby WW_III_ANGRY » Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:14 pm

Hello all, it has been some time since I have visited here, I would like to let you know everything is going great for me. I consider myself fully recovered with minor residual affects from schizo-affective disorder. I would like to let you know I finished my book and have it available at Amazon.com, feel free to help me out with any reviews if possible. I appreciate it and hopefully I can inspire others here to write about their bouts with mental illness, as it was great therapy for me. Below is the link. Thank you,

That's a pretty cool cover. I'd maybe read it if it were free

They are not lies... Just figure out the packaging and you should be able to find the reality in it.

Most psychological babble is just cultural labels or definitions where people are manipulated into believing them to be real.

I think I'll buy it. I also promise to write a review once I'm done if it is as sincere as you say.

I have been fascinated by schizophrenic disorders ever since I bad-tripped on acid. Different psychologists have told me that an LSD trip is mostly chemically induced schizophrenia, but I have always had my doubts... Now maybe I can get a little closer to the truth!

Right, that's the packaging.

Don't forget man, there are actual scientists going to work on this kind of inquiry, and have been for a while. It's all about noticing the packaging...

As is everything. Perhaps, having a cold isn't a physical illness? If you disagree, why?

I would buy it, except I don't have a Kindle or anything.

If you will E-Mail it to me as a Word Document or PDF, I will go on and buy it after I receive the E-Mail.

Please feel free to review it! Be harsh too if you need to, negative feed back means its not biased

Why? Cold's cause pain, mental illness cause emotional pain. Its certainly not mentally healthy to see something that doesn't exist, as opposed to seeing something that does exist. I don't understand your reasoning... but maybe that's because you haven't provided your reasoning, what is your reasoning? :)

There is a difference between physical and emotional pain.

Descriptions of mental illness often enough are distorted.

Of course there is a difference between physical and emotional pain, just as there is a difference with physical and emotional illness. Doctors distort physical diagnoses as well, do they not?

That's excellent. I will buy it, at home, on Wednesday, so that it will be on my home computer.

I doubt if negative feedback will be required, I admire your writing style. Provided you kept the grammar clean, everything will be fine.

Rusty that may be in the works, but it takes a long time. I actually have a contract to get published the other day. I'm going to hold off as it is small time and they only publish to order. I would like to explore the possibility of getting in with a bigger publisher first before I sign anything

Wow! Congrats!

I hope you get wealthy! And then I hope the voices in your head urge you to send Flannel some money!
Or, at the very least, I hope you feel good that at least a few people are reading your thoughts, even if you're not wealthy.
My woman's dad has schiz, and my best friend from highschool somehow ended up with it shortly after we graduated, and has been struggling with it intensely, so I may indeed find myself buying ur book. I'd prefer a physical copy too.

Thank you, although I have no expectations to get wealthy from this, in the slightest. Let me know if you get it though, thanks a ton.

No thanks, I think that would only dehumanize my experience in favor of humor. I'm trying to provoke empathy and stick figures, while I see that it would be a good idea in some ways as it would be funny as hell possibly, but that isn't my goal. Perhaps it can be someone else's goal one day.
