It's all because of our great, exuberant authors. I had a great, fun time, with Hemasiri who is like, a part of our family. He's come in his shorts. He's enjoyed our famous frosted strawberry pies with brown sugar cinnamon. Although, the frosting had too much vanilla this time.
I was sad, Tenali didn't show up, as I had planned to show her somethings, a surprise, and give her -- her share of our profit. But her mom, Nilmini had a special event in her life, and was tired. She spoke to me, and said she considered me to be a part of her family. I was touched. My mom's shy, but will hopefully see.
I was going to show her, my mom with Vijaya Kumaratunga as a small child, at my mom's birthday, to help her grow her confidence.
I didn't go to bother Quintus, but he's pulled off many sales. He's gotten 6 sales thus far, which is impressive, with 1 sale from USA.
His books, from the "250,000" were:
Countries: Sri Lanka 139 views, US 109, Australia 54, UK 15, Canada 10, Singapore 7.
I found, many people, only look at the website homepage. That's why Daily Mirror in SL, they offer ad spots in their homepage mostly, in multiple locations.
We're proud of Tenali, that 1 lady bought her work from Italy. She had no trouble buying it for $5. Our website works perfectly. Anyone anywhere can buy a product by anyone about anything on AngryPages anytime.
We came into this, hopeful that we can help the people of Sri Lanka, with exporting creative products, that we'd help them export their ideas, stories and IP, from SL, to anywhere, and wow, that dream is coming true.
And she's just 11 years old.
I've made a few videos of her book, because -- she had a dream about showing her story to her friends as a movie -- which I'll show her on Saturday.
We told Daily Mirror, it's like a "IP piggy bank", and when Nilmini said she's saving for Tenali's education, when I boasted about our JP Morgan Chase bank, I saw how this would be a piggy bank that she'd never have to burst, to make the most of it, it's a piggy bank, an asset, who will grow with you.
Today, when I emailed her, I was talking about how I made "game assets" via blender, which sometimes crashes when I design game maps, and I've shared Scales' 3d render on this story.
All of it, belongs to her, it's all her IP, not mine, not AngryPages, and we're very happy about this.
We will never make a young girl a promise, if we know we can't keep it.
