QUOTES BY NATHAN COPPEDGE NOVEMBER 2015

QUOTES NOVEMBER 2015:


"Although the incidents [of coincidental youth] may be rare, it is their existence that gives rise to rumors of the fountain of youth."


"Some weight gain may be necessary to live to 400 years, whereas some weight loss may be necessary to live to 100."


"Throughout history, the best medicine for longevity appears to have been a combination of factors, such as ultra-purified water, turmeric, whole grains, vegetables, and mental stimulants."


"Strength training stops contributing to longevity when it begins to create ... weight gain... The alternative to weakness starts to look like starving the body of energy."


"Efficient adaptation is the closest thing to a natural panacea for youthfulness... Metabolism is a major factor to target for any propensive adaptivity."


"Virtual evolution is also possible, but may be artificial." ---Nathan Coppedge (look up).


"The existence of concrete gaurantees concrete, just as substance (proven or consistent or represented sensation) is inevitably what is most empirical. In this sense, what is real is either between representation and interpretation, or falls to a deeper source which assumes interpretation already took place, whether or not the object is material." ---Nathan Coppedge


"Intelligence is the one thing opposing the simplicity found in survival differences. It is represented by individuation, so it is represented by the more complex character of the image of survival, which goes beyond behavior, and goes beyond the soul of behavior. Individual selection (in the sense of free-choice), thus mirrors, through intellection, the outer judgment of the species- or planetary-level idea. Symbiosis is the consciousness of similarity between self and nature, represented by survival." ---Nathan Coppedge, Scientific Theories (Theories of Nature).

My earnings as an author...

2012

$16.16

2013

$43

2014

$269.99, some of it unpaid in that year ($85.27 subtracted out because it was not earned yet).

2015

$254.66 earned by Oct. 21st.

Total:

Almost $500.

(But note also that I'm trying to dig myself out of the money I spent on Authorhouse, which was probably at least $1200. So, technically I'm still in the hole). My current publisher (Amazon/ CreateSpace) is the only reason I have any earnings potential, besides the content of my books.

The above includes both texts and e-books.

Notice, the exponential curve has dropped off.  I suspect this is because of poor marketing from my publisher.

But, at least the year has not been worse than last, if I assume some continued sales in Nov - Dec.

My author page may be found at: http://www.amazon.com/author/nathancoppedge 
notably I have not sold copies of The Structure of Philosophical Revolutions yet (It's been about a week or two).

1 Yr. Above 400,000th Author! Yay!

The chart shows my supposed Amazon Rank over the past 1-Yr. period.

Slight improvements over the previous year (not shown).

ADVICE ON WRITING

Here is some advice on writing books and being creative:
1. Think about the title first. To an important extent, a title is what makes a book classic. Not only the title, but the accurate reflection of the title by the content. But if you can't think properly about the title, you probably don't have a good idea of the book. This is kind of my thesis of good writing.
2. Think about what it means to have content. Are you a poet? Then you need to get inspired. Are you a facts-person? Then you need to do some research. Are you a novelist? Then you need to know how to connect 'creativity' with a 'story'.
3. Think about concepts of meaning. What would be meaningful to write about? Or, of you're not a meaning-oriented person, what would be meaningless to write about?
4. If you're still stuck, try taking short little adventure-vacations. If you feel like writing a few notes, you can do that (notes eventually add up, although I don't recommend this as the primary method). The important thing is that you are clarifying your thinking.
5. Whenever you have a seed---the merest seed---of inspiration, then you can use this to develop a longer piece, such as a paragraph, or several pages. Try working with short chapters if you can't work for long. Or, if you're like me, you can write in an encyclopedia style, collecting the parts alphabetically. This may be easier than writing a novel. A second method is to write a book of quotations, and a third method is to use structure primarily, such as lists or graphics.
6. An alternative is being very inspired, and writing either a structure of a piece, or an entire piece, or chapter, in one sitting. This is something to work up to gradually. (I don't recommend drugs for getting inspired: just feel the cool air, the wind on your face, and focus on what you know or love).
7. This is one of the secrets of writing: Remember, you don't need to write very much to make a book in a year. In 6" X 9" format, you need to only write the equivalent of about a page every two or three days. If you don't have good content, though, or if there is no organization, then you're doomed.
That's my sagacious advice on writing. I hope it means something significant to you.

One week until one full year above 400,000th author rank!

I Now Have Two Supplementary Author Websites

both at Wix.com:

These do what every website should do but doesn't. But to compromise, they're skimpy on real content, like creative material and side projects.

But browse them if you like! They offer visual pleasure.

Improved Author Rank

I'm in the top 100,000 authors again on Amazon.

Unless I sell books tomorrow, it will gone by tomorrow.

Today I sold two. But one was an e-book.

I was experiencing dry spells for several weeks.

At least I sold one Perpetual Motion Machine Designs & Theory in a bookstore (actually, it may have been a non-Amazon website). Three others were online.

Kindle edition of the PMM D&T has a bestseller rank for now:

• • Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #184,790 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
    • #95 in Books > Engineering & Transportation > Engineering > Reference > Patents & Inventions
    •

"Practical advice was the domain of a scripted set of perfections". --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"Imagination could live there if it's whole point was not to be dangerous. But the merest hint of adventure, and the mind would snap, and the subject would not longer be practical".

 --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"Not only practicality was perfect". --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"Nihilism was the conviction that a person was no more than a value". --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"Successful religions are subtle annihilations- -the apocrypha of nihilists... Successful people use value as neutral currency, in this sense becoming profoundly immoral". --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

If there is no special technique available, it is either sacred knowledge, or you're supposed to delegate the task to someone else. If you cannot delegate, and you don't think it's sacred knowledge, and it doesn't involve a special technique, then you know that Fate will step in, for better or worse". --- Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"To avoid mediocrity, it is important to delegate". ---Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)

"[O]nly the trickiest, most intelligent people seem self-sufficient...They have learned to depend on other people's minds instead of their bodies.

"[Concerning the higher life...] it is partly because they're delegating about their fate, and their sacred knowledge is a special technique". ---Nathan Coppedge (The Techne,2014)
