Not a surprise, as he once told a group of chums that he was 'unlucky'. Warming to his task, he explained that if a game/sport/contest required skill the he was indeed your man but if luck was the key, then forget it. </p> <p>Sad to say it took me a while to decode. In essence if I won some form of contest with him it was luck, whereas if he won it was skill. You'd have to go a long way to match that kind of self-image. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142280 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:45:55 +0000 Oxbridge 142280@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I imagine most self-published books are indeed shite but if you're that certain yours isn't one of those and you have a bit of money to burn, why not? A friend of mine did that (Unimagined - Imran Ahmad; I even get a mention), it got picked by a major publisher and made several Book of the Year lists. Never made him a bean of course, but there you go. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142187 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 19:51:03 +0000 Ironduke 142187@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Is the parable of Onan in the Gospel according to Onan then? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142169 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 15:31:58 +0000 nickb 142169@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>self publishing=self abuse </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142080 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 20:29:08 +0000 rikkor 142080@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I know someone who self-published a book (before e-books). Boy, was it unreadable! My friend was young, rich and full of himself, but, even then, isn't it sooo embarrassing self-publishing? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142056 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:36:47 +0000 Idiot 142056@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I am aware of her output. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142054 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 17:23:55 +0000 The Secret Cabal 142054@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>THE SECRET CABAL DOES NOT ENDORSE OR CONDONE PAYMENTS MADE TO IT FOR GUARANTEED CRITICAL SUCCESS RE: YOUR SHABBY PAGE-AFTER-PAGE AWFULNESS.

Then just hope that he hasn't deleted it at his end and left you talking to yourself. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142034 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 16:17:21 +0000 Perks 142034@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh, is it to late to cancel my payment.</p> <p>PS Could you PM me wayland, ever time I try to pm you it says your inbox is full because you are more popular than me </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49213#post-142017 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 14:52:29 +0000 waylandsmithy 142017@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>These have started appearing on the site!
