With me being an author like otis I will tell you if you want a successful book that will sell the editors and publishers will tell you they have to edited some things out and put some things in. What I mean is take myself now Im a good kind hearted god fearing woman that don't do nobody no wrong. Now do you think a book like that will sell? no! I have to edited that out and put Im a whore I have ten babies and I dont know who's the father of any of them. See bad stuff sell. Like raggs to riches now that will sell. But I been rich all my life I was born in to money I can buy anything I want now who want to read that. You have to say. I lived in a box and I had to beg for food before I come in to money and I had to take a bath at bus stations because I had no house I was so poor. Bad stuff and hard times sell like sex sells. So thats what we authors have to do if we want our book to sell. But me my life was so bad I dont have to do that.
