Topic: Help publishing a book - The Tale of Dank (Read 3037 times)

I wouldn't encourage that...it's just more begging.

No need to get funded.  Just write your book on your computer.

If you do fast, medical supervision is recommended
as well as knowledge of properly breaking the fast.
If you try to have a cheeseburger and fries after weeks without
food, you'll probably get very sick.

Also, no one here is going to believe a 40 day fast
so if credibility is important to you then vlog is good idea.

I guess if you believe you can fly and are as influential as Jesus and can organize a better music festival than burning man, then you can believe whatever you want.

In the world the rest of us live in, we all have finite willpower and it comes in fairly small doses too.

Why fast when you could do it now? You have your willpower dude. Anything is possible, right?

If someone kills you or you die, it's game over kiddo.

We all have infinite willpower.  It is how much you tap into it that limits you.

I don't smoke as it is, so no, I will not be smoking when I fast.


Maybe I will after my fast.  Though if someone tries to kill me and unlocks my abilities, it will sorta be moot.

Fasting is psychologically and physically difficult ...the most I've ever done was 4 days on water.
The mind plays tricks on you.

Honestly, Dank I don't think you will do 42 days.
you have to realize we only have a certain amount of willpower.

Just curious, will you be smoking herb during the fast?

Yeah I drank three beers today. So sue me.

You still haven't answered to me, why won't you contact Randi for his million dollar challenge if you're so sure you can do anything?

Because you posted about drinking on the shroomery..

I'm going to be isolated in nature during the fast.  Don't think I'll make much access to the outside world.

How would you know if I drink/don't drink alcohol?

That's right. You don't.

As soon as he finishes his "fast"  

Dank you should put up a vlog of you fasting.

Yawn... When's the book gonna be ready?

I think that alcohol you've been drinking has disabled your ability to comprehend the nature of infinity.

Jesus said the same thing.  Sorry to tell you, but she's not the retard here.

Do you even read your posts before you send them?

So you say we're all one and that's why MY negative reality is only applicable to me?

Hate to break it to you kid but your ex is a retard.

We are all one.  That's why your negative reality you are creating is only applicable to your reality.  We are still each our own intelligent spirit.

It's the same as what my girl taught me: to hate your neighbor is to hate yourself.  You're the one feeling the hate, not your neighbor.

Aren't we all one? You are me and I am you etc blabla.

Your negative reality is only applicable to your reality.  Not mine.  I believe in truth, positivity, love.  Not falsity.

False beliefs are the very definition of delusions my friend.  That's fine if you want to speak in delusions, but please don't cast them to anyone but yourself.

You can't predict anything though.

In your case, antipsychotics are actually a great choice. Yeah they'll dull your mind but that's exactly what you need kid.

Also, please stop spreading misinformation

Antipsychotics (which are actually psychotics) disrupt my vibrational synchronization and alignment.  They make my frequency resonate at a lower spectrum, induce negative negative thought patterns.

I have noticed the same cycle of reevolution occurred after my latest stay in nazi drug prison.  Last time it took months, this time it took weeks to more or less regain my alignment and control over my perception.

Antipsychotics are fucking horrible for you, they shrink your brain and damage receptors.  They quite literally cause brain damage.  LSD does not do that, in fact, it stimulates cell growth.

I just said, I don't predict time.  In 2012 I had a very immediate time spectrum, especially after I took 60 hits.  The day I did 60 hits, I literally thought that was the day of the end of the world.  It was and it wasn't, there's no specific day, our paradigm is gradually shifting to a higher vibration, both positive and negative sides.  Those that love, will love more.  Those that hate, will hate more.  Then it's just the law of attraction from there.  The negatives will attract the negatives and have a bad ole time.  The positives will attract the positives and an infinitely good time until they ascend.

Gee, where have I heard this before

You said the US economy will collapse once dankcoin is released. You said "we will reach singularity by the end of the year" in 2012. What gives?

I don't predict time.  I predict events.  Time is an illusion and not my ability to prophesize.

Since nearly all humans on our planet react outwardly from their surroundings, rather than creating their surroundings from what they perceive within, you can see patterns unfolding and from these patterns you can see future events.

Life is a giant mathematical equation until you reach singularity within yourself.  Then you create the equation rather than solve it.

Please explain to me, in your own words:

How is it that you've been spouting your nonsense for two years, predicting this&that(mostly this), and nothing has happened so far? Think about it for a minute.

If the economy collapsed and I had no access to electricity, reading your book would be the last thing on my mind.

You still haven't told me what words I have 'stolen'.

And you missed part of the quote "Give back to Caesar's what is Caesar's and god what is gods."

Last I recall, man did not create the earth.  Why is every region of our planet claimed by men?


There truly are some ignorant fucks in this world, aren't there?  Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean you should throw rocks at it and ridicule it.  Maybe, if you opened your mind and weren't so scared to learn a different philosophy than what fits in your limited view of reality, you would actually learn something!

Imagine that, maybe the guy that has been posting the answers to the unknown and proclaiming he has the key to ascending humanity in a higher dimension (aka heaven) for the last two years is actually on to something.

Your ego's are stuck grasping for straws of normalcy bias.  My words convey logic of actual ideas and yours simply convey your subjective, opinionated judgments and bias.

Lmao....ahhh....never a dull moment here. That's why I love this place.

Dank is a lowlife junkie hobo - no life, no hope and no future.

Vod is a greedy fat fuck who thinks he ownes this forum.


Fuck both of you you filthy scum!

Instead of naming your book "The Tale of Dank", I'd suggest:

"Don't Do What Dankey Don't Did"

You are right. A donkey is anyone who believes his honeyed stolen words, do you understand that he is some kid doing all this for fun right? Google his sentences and you'll find out 


That's a blasphemy Donk(ey), as far as I know it is not allowed.
Before dabbling in fields you do not know you should at least read one or two pages about the inherent topic.

Jesus preached: "give to caesar what is caesar's" and "if you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me"

So sell all your shitty equipment and pay back Squall. Stop talking about the book damnit, you have bad skill as a guitarist, you have no skill as a writer. Stick to very basic works until you raise enough experience.

And stop begging for god's sake.

I'm not judging you donk(ey), I believe you should sell your collateral and publish your book!

What you see in me is what you see in you.

This is just the story of jesus repeating in modern times.  A man stands up against the greed based society he lives in.  He finds spirituality and oneness then speaks the truth against the judgment of his peers.  And he was killed for it.

All your judgment just further proves me right in the end.

cant believe this guy. his really fucked up by drugs

I say go for it donk(ey).

Sell some of the $8,000 in items you own and pay for the publishing.  You have more faith in this project than anyone else.

You don't need to borrow more money.

What words have I 'stolen'?  Everything I speak comes from my soul.


It still costs money to self publish a book.  I stated this in the OP, I do not want to touch the money, I want to work with you so you pay the publishing company and I distribute the copies.  I don't want to touch a dime of this.


I've said this many times but I will repeat myself since some of you are having difficulty understanding.  I didn't scam squall.  I respect the man greatly, he put faith in me for a crucial time of my life when no one else would.  The business I was conducting was going fine until a $500 from a guy in China fell through at the same time as a $500 order from PF fell through.  Either one of those orders would have more than substantiated the $1000 loan, I could have easily made $5000 with plenty of money to repay squall.

You're channeling your anger on the wrong person, I made no ill attempt to scam squall for money.  All I wanted was to get the funds I needed to progress in life musically and spiritually so I could further help those around me.  If you want to get mad for something that doesn't effect your life, get mad at the asian guy who scammed me.  Get mad at PF who scammed me and vanished with my money.  Their actions are what led to my inability to fulfill the debt with squall.

And by further discriminating me and attacking me, it is you who is now withholding squall from getting his money back.  If I could get this book published, there is a good chance I can surpass 1000, even 10,000 copies.  I am going to make my best effort to have it distributed online and in store fronts if possible.


KelticFox, I am setting the example for others by taking the first steps towards creating a better society.  I am setting the example that you can lose your house, friends, loved ones and the respect of your peers but if you stay true to yourself, no one can tarnish the amount of peace you hold.  I am setting the example by leaving our primitive, highly consumptuous and destructive lifestyles.  I will be fasting for 42 days and walking across the country to form a new society that operates off the principles of positivity, love and sharing rather than negativity, inequality and greed.  I am following my dream no matter what people tell me, because that is what we should all truly be doing.  Following our own dream, not your business's dream, not the government's dream, not society's dream, but your dream.

I am setting the example for you to follow.  Those who choose to do so will ascend to a higher dimension of existence where life is truly infinite in every way fathomable.  Those who truly believe in their self and attune to my words will walk to the music festival where they will be the first to ascend to the higher dimensions.

I have sacrificed my life to the will of god to help others with the knowledge and power of infinite love I hold.  I have quite literally laid out in a ditch with the understanding that I would take a bullet to the face by cartel members as a sacrifice to show the world the true state of humanity at these times.

I may not have helped people materially as much as others, though the work I do is on a spiritual level, which spreads throughout the world and reaches far more individuals.  Though I have given out joints in Winston Salem, given out spiritual compounds to friends and strangers for free, I have shared food with the homeless and done what I could with the limited resources I had available to leave a positive mark on society and show people that life is not about being greedy and becoming miserable.  It is about sharing and becoming one.  Finding true peace with yourself and those around you.

I support this effort from Dank.

Salty spittoon suggested this idea years ago.

I think he should try to create something sellable.
Why not?

Although I still he think he should try to go out
and get a paying job, .....baby steps.... At least
He is trying to do something productive....
And he's not asking for a handout in this thread.
Maybe this will lead to greater things.

Dank, there's no need to print 1000 books.

There are companies that will print and ship
on demand.  This will free you of the burden
of storage and capital.  Even easier, I think
You should start with an ebook.

I'd be happy to handle the money until squall
Is repayed...

But first you must write the book!  
Now get to work dude!  

this posts keeps on entertaining me everyday.

Lol broke clock is right twice a day.

Why attempt recovery? He should bury himself in fresh ground so that our mother Nature reprocesses him. She cannot fail two times in a row.

I knew a guy just like dank in high school, said the same type of crap. He would wonder off into the woods for weeks at a time. Claimed he was devine and all that crap. I was watching the news one day and his mug shot was plastered across the screen. He walked up to is cheating girlfriend in the middle of the road said "I have seen the other side it is better" pulled out a pistol and shot her in the head. Walked into her house and made food. Leaving her dead body in the road till a 5AM when someone seen it on the way to work.


I thought you were just a chill stoner or something but I think you might be on the edge of a needing serious mental help.

http://www.lulu.com/

First of literally hundreds of hits when googling "self publish book".

There's no reason why anyone should have to give dank money directly.

Click the "ignore" button under my profile on the left.   

While I think you are borderline insane, and have some pretty serious issues you need to sort out.....if it was well written and didn't try and ram your philosophies down everyone's throat, I'd probably grab a copy tbh!

Whether its true or not, I don't think it would even matter, after reading a few of your posts I'd wager it would most certainly be very....VERY entertaining!!

Plus, if it gives you a shovel to dig sideways out of this hole you seem to be in, I say do it.

i do see your point. i have noticed how he is constantly asking for money. i personally don't understand it and i honestly don't care enough to debate it. he just doesn't strike me as your average scammer. most would just make a new account and start over.

i will be the first to admit i don't know all the details. but like i said he has been making payments and to me that says something.

i just don't like people who try to chop other people down. i'm constantly hearing about young people killing themselves cause of cyber bullying and i don't like it.

regardless of dank vod reminds me of goat and there is something about that i don't like. i don't really have no problems with him i'm sure he means well but he is just constantly running his mouth like he has verbal diarrhea.

I beg to differ.

Let's say you lend 10 BTC to me, I default... come up with ridicolus persistent idiocy like Dank while I enjoy your coin. Then I make some payments and you think "this kid is making payments, let's trust him"

Now some poor soul believe him and lends him more money. He privately repeats the scam with each one then... when the market is 100% sure that he is just a thief he disappears.

It is called Ponzi scheme.

Considering the amount of effort he is putting into this I can say that he is truly an unrepentant dangerous person. he should be imprisoned and his property seized to repair debtors.

Dank ran a ponzi to buy himself shit like drugs, that bike of his, his guitar, all of which he refuses to sell to repay squall even though he claims to be homeless and "walking west", but it's Vod you have a problem with? He profited greatly from that scam of his, and squall can get fucked because he "needs" that stuff.  

look, i get your point. i understand why vod is in his ass. but this kid has been making payments even if it's not at the rate he promised. to me, that counts for something. real scammers don't give you shit back.

and for vod, he just strikes me as another goat. i understand the need to constantly remind dank, but he has taken it to a whole new level. he is basically harassing the kid and constantly putting him down.

personally, i'm more tired of vod than dank.

Would you be peaceful with someone who owes ~25000$ to a friend? And is willing to steal even more?

I respect your position but please note that people actually fall in scams and promises like these. "The tale of dank" seriously? What's going in there? He is just copying sentences and words from Nirvana songs and books like Fight Club.

He, right now, is laughing at you when you do feeble attempts to defend him. "I'll stop you all with my ninja powers! You cannot kill love! My awareness is godlike"

I'll tell you the tale of dank, for free:

"Steal words from the betters of you, steal money from those who believe the words of the latter"

A little example: in his next reply he is going to point out how my words hinder his repayment and disturb the cosmological order, however his deep connection and sheer force of will will find a way. His powers are made of love which is boundless.

Or when someone makes a worthful contribution like BadBear, dOnk(ey) replies telling you that is not enough love, that is not wide enough, that it lacks musicality and assorted shit. Just give him coins, his love will use the tribute to the devil for good.

You could minimize your impact much further. Sell your motorcycle, get a bicycle. Grow your own food, or become part of a self contained society that grows their own food and other products, has a water source on their landand trades for things they need, publish your book on your own, etc. That would mean not being completely worthless though so

They are the ones who put their self in that position.  The book would do more good than the minute harm of people publishing it, they may even take something away from it.

By your logic, I shouldn't use gas, or eat food, or bottled water, or the internet, etc.

It's about minimizing our consumption and leaving a positive mark of creation over the amount of destruction we disperse.

LOL - that was a good post.   

Hey Dank, since you've reached enlightenment, how did you fail to realize that you're putting more "corporate slaves" to work in order to publish this book? You're supporting the very thing that you're preaching against. Use your divine powers to make the book grow out from the ground instead. It's more natural that way.

you know dank, i don't agree with you defaulting on the loan. and i don't agree that you are constantly asking for money. but i do respect that you have at least paid back something to squall. to me, this says you are not a scammer. you just fucked up. and even though alot of what you say is non-sense, every now and then you really do say something that catches my attention. like what it says under your avatar. i don't think most people can just make that shit up. you have to mean that deep down to say shit like that. so even though you fucked up and you are an epic troll, i think you are a decent guy.

candy was talking to vod

has anybody else noticed how vod is quick to engage dank but he goes silent when other people try to engage him?

Terms are negotiable.  You would receive the money until the loan is paid back and I would sign a couple copies of the book for you to have.

And beyond the physical, you would help make the world a better place and I believe you would feel pretty good about it in the future and as time goes by.  The text of the book alone itself would also help you gain understanding and peace in life.

Alright, your note has been taken. Soo... what's in it for me if it is published? From you.

hey vod, why be an asshole and tear the kid down?

I guarantee this book will never be published.   

plus, you should also learn how the trust rating works. the weight of a user's feedback has nothing to do with how much trust score they have, it's simply binary - if they're in your trust list or not.

so, your signature telling people to leave positive trust for defaulttrust is pointless.

Agreed Please be less snobbish.

ya vod

You speak for no one but yourself, all the trash you talk is only applicable to your reality.

Vod, just stop shilling and get a life.  Find a purpose.  This book would help you do that.

thank you

Actually me and almost all my friends would buy the Tale of Vod. I think he's hilarious and his story would also be funny.

Vod, stop trying. Before you were doing a good job, but you're just plain annoying now.

hey vod, a few months ago you said you would stop posting in his threads and giving him attention. why are you still doing it?

No sean, I speak for pretty much everyone when I say there is zero interest in your book.  You post nonsense.  You make no sense.  And the constant lying.  If you want to throw money away, sell your junk and pay for the publishing yourself.  See how many copies you will sell.  

Don't ask for a loan for something that will fail.

Just because you're no one doesn't mean you can speak for everyone, vod.  Multiple people have told me on here that I should write a book.  I talked to my banker today and he said he'd buy two copies.

Again, what do you do for the world other than bully people vod?

vod, why are you still feeding him?

Sean, you skipped over the part of the process where you ask yourself "Does anyone care about the tale of dank?"

You won't sell any copies because no one cares about the tale of dank.  Money that you spend on publishing will go to waste. 

You are asking people to donate coins to something that will be a failure.   Think about it.

good luck with that.

That's why I said in the OP that I do not wish to handle any money.  You can pay the publishing company directly and I will handle the books from there.

dank, you are not trusted. you need to accept that. if you want to do this it's gonna be a tough sell asking people to trust you and send BTC first. if you really want to make this happen you are gonna have to be the one to show good faith and ship first.

See, you clearly don't give a fuck if squall is paid back.  That's what this book could accomplish, but you'd rather deter that from happening so you can attack me as long as possible.

And an online version won't do much good if the economy collapses and you have no access to electricity.


I get it but that doesn't seem reasonable.  I'm writing this story for the purpose of it being spread and leaving an impact on society, I have no reason to not ship it to someone who's bought a copy.

why do that vod?

I'm sure the community would chip in to buy a paperback, then we could scan it and put it online. 

instead of they pay you then you ship the book it's the other way around. you ship the book and when they have it in hand they pay you.

I don't know how that would work.  I'm not going to not ship them once they're published, I want this story to be heard.  Holding a bunch of copies wouldn't do me much good.

you ship your book to buyers then you get paid.

No, I can't.  That was the value of all my property new, not used.


What do you mean exactly?

will you ship first?

Sell all the equipment you don't need for your walk and you can pay off squall in full. 

Please stop using our community while you owe us money and refuse to pay.  No one here respects you, take the hint.

That wouldn't pay back squall.  Why don't you stop talking shit and bullying people for once.  If you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all.

Sean, I've said it fifty times you can sell your bike and pay back squall.  The one choosing to not pay him back is YOU. 

This book has just as much potential as dankcoin.  And you'll use as another excuse to not pay back squall.

Of course you would be the first one to reply in an attempt to defame me.

Vod, this is exactly why you are the one who is stopping me from paying squall back, not I.

The book has the potential to show the readers understanding of a higher realm of reality.  It has the potential to change people's lives and that is significant.

Back in 2012, someone private messaged me and said he was eternally indebted to me, for my posts had helped him find true understanding in life.  And with understanding comes peace.  Peace is invaluable.

Considering dank is a pathological liar, what value would anyone get out of such a book?  Anyone can lie.

When this fails it will be just another excuse to not pay squall, same as dankcoin.   

I have a very interesting, philosophical, life changing, funny and dramatically sad story to share with the world.  It is my life and I would like to write a completely original and captivating story and have it published in both paper back and hard bound copies.

I have written a plain text narrative autobiography of much of my life back over a year ago.  It is incomplete and while the story is interesting, it's deprived of the full context and meaning from the experiences.

In the story, I will include a narrative of my life, all the fathomable knowledge and wisdom I can possibly articulate, songs I have written and released, songs I have not released and a chapter of revelations and prophecies for the coming days.  Will possibly include some art I have made and references to quotes and information that aspired me to become the person I have become.

The story will explain how I came to be who I am today, from a once regular kid with various struggles and trials in life, to a man who overcame the deception of negativity and found full potential and purpose in life.  I hope the story will provide understanding and empower those who read it.  At the very least, it will be good for a laugh, as I have many abstract stories to share, though I truly hope you get a little more out of it than that.

I will be fasting for 42 days in the near future and I would like to write this book during my fast and have it published within a quick time frame towards the end of the fast.

I'm looking to produce 1000 copies of the paper back version and 420 copies of the hard bound, though I would truly love to print more if resources allowed for such.

The paper back copies will cost around $3/each with the current self publishing company I am looking at.  The hard bound copies will cost around $11-12/each, though the specifics will depend on exactly how long the story is and the final components (such as art) included in the book.

I'm looking to sell the books at $10 for paper back copies and $20-25 for hard bound.  The money I earn from the books will go towards paying back my debt with squall.  I hope to be able to earn enough to pay back the debt I incurred when I was scammed for $1000 in late 2012 and unable to fulfill the once $1000 obligation.  Hopefully it will earn enough for me to have some funds to prepare for my journey across the country, as I will be walking across the country in the near future to spread my knowledge and wisdom directly to those I meet along the way.

I am not asking to handle any of the money, I understand if you have trust issues because of my current debt, but please understand that I have remained active for a year and a half later while reimbursing 22 BTC and making monthly payments to the best of my ability thereafter.

The book would be sold online, advertised on a few communities and I will make effort to sell them locally around my city.

I hope this opportunity could be seized to get on good terms with those around me, those who misunderstood me and those who have yet to hear of me.  This book has potential to do the world a lot of good and I see it as my last way to prove to the world the sincerity of my words.

To highlight a few of the specific topics that will be shared in The Tale of Dank:
- Growing up as an average kid with average social issues
- Taking the step towards a new way of thinking after a horrible depression
- Experiencing egodeath, nirvana, and finding true peace and purpose in life
- Falling deep in love with the girl of my dreams
- Evolving beyond who I once was
- My encounter with the CIA, Hell's Angel's and Mexican drug cartels
- First hand experience through the hell of modern psychiatric care
- Paranormal encounters and stories of others I met in life
- Breaking through the laws of our reality and bending life with the power of the mind
- Reaching exponentially higher levels of understanding with the universe and infinity
- Facing judgment of peers, family members and police
- Rising above the forces of negativity into an aware state of infinity
- What the future will hold for our society and existence
- Philosophy of forgiveness, peace and infinity
- World peace

All with deeply explained philosophical elements throughout the story.

This story can change your life and the lives of many, I hope we can make it come to fruition.

Thank you for your time.
