[Question About Selling Basketball Card Collection]

I also want to sell part of my collection, but for now, I can't do it. I've been collecting them for a few years, and I think I'm not ready to sell them, at least for now. Basketball has been my favorite sport since childhood, and for me, there is nothing more interesting than it. And I remember how happy I was to get my first card, and such a collecting hobby is the only one I have. Some time ago, I had to write a paper for my creative writing club, and I wrote about basketball. Thanks to examples on https://graduateway.com/essay-examples/basketball/, I managed to make the paper even more interesting because those examples were very inspirational. And of course, I added some info about collecting cars, because it's also a part of the sport.

I've been active on this forum for a couple of years now. I love music of all genres if they are well recorded and have a good Melody 😉 My other passion is writing fiction. After having self-published two books on the Amazon platform, I decided to take a different approach and try out Wattpad for my third novel: Miserere - The Last of the NeandertaL. The book, disguised as a (pre)historical adventure, mystery and science fiction novel, is about mutation, breast cancer and death. 

 

So what is it about? Why this book? The subject of breast cancer entered my life on a very personal level in 2015. I will not go into detail about this event for now. It was traumatising and I waited 5 years or so before I was ready to write about it. Ironically, only a few weeks after I finally started writing, in the spring of 2021, a really close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was early July 2021. I made a pact with her: Let's make a deal: you have one year to get over this, and while you go through the therapy, I'll be working on this book. And by July 2022, you'll be cured, and I will have finished this novel. Well, here we are now! My friend is doing fine now (after going through multiple surgeries in the past year, going through hell several times, and all the way back again...), and I'm about to finish my novel!

 

So why this post? If you think the music world is competitive, well I can tell you competition is arguably even tougher for a writer in the English language: on Amazon, 6,000 new books are published daily... It is terribly difficult to get noticed. Hence my experiment with Wattpad. So what is the deal: you can read my 'under construction' novel, which is 80% finished, for free on a device of your choice. You'll need a Wattpad account, which is free. Wattpad (and their app) is a reliable and safe platform. No worries, and there really is no catch (if you don't mind the ads, after one week of use). I have given my book a mature rating because there are references to (very mild) sexuality.

 

And what is next? When the novel is finished (end of August 2022 the latest), I will update the Wattpad version and, more importantly, I will self-publish it on Amazon. It will be available there as paperback and hardback.

 

It is unfinished, but is it 'readable'? Yes! The book consists of three parts that can be read in any order you like. Part Two and Part Three are completely finished, Part One is still in the process of being written. You can trust me, reading it will be a rewarding experience.

I wish I had more time to work on the book, but because of my educational process, I don't have much time left. But in university, I also write a lot, but it is mostly essays, but they are on different issues, so my skills and knowledge always develop, which is beneficial, of course. Some time ago I wrote a paper based on the film for the first time. The film was called Into The Wild, and the writing task was interesting. At first, I faced some problems, but I found this page https://paperap.com/free-papers/into-the-wild/ with paper examples, and the process became faster and easier for me. Now I have such a writing experience, and maybe, one day it will help me to write another Wattpad story.

As this is a passion project, I'm looking forward to reader feedback/input. You can react to this post (I am following this thread) or you can leave a comment on the Wattpad platform, of course.

Thanks for sharing this! I've read a few Wattapad novels, and now I'm looking for a new one. Your post made me interested, and I'll for sure check your novel. It's a September, so I think it's already finished

Robert, you say you DID figure out what happened??

Yes, there was inaccurate information on my credit reports, and I had no idea about it. But luckily I noticed it not too late, and saved the situation

[Credit score took a BIIIIGG hit and I don't know why]

I also had a very similar situation some time ago, and it took me a while to figure out why my credit score was changed. But luckily, now, almost four months later, the score is back to normal, and I'm happy because I need to fix my car, and it costs a lot. I bought the car a year ago, and only this month I got into an accident. And it is very unpleasant, because I need to repair it and spend some money, and those expenses are unplanned. I read the guide for car repairs, and it provided me with some info on how and where I can make some extra money. I still haven't taken some action because I have previous experience, and this time I want to find more info to do the right step.
