The day has arrived to give away 5 free paperback copies of my book, Un-Crap Your Life: Navigating Life's Crappiest Situations to the top 5 most popular comments on this post. And when I say free, I mean free, and free shipping, everything. I'll ship anywhere internationally, wherever. I'll sign it and write a small note as well.

Basically, it comes down to this: whoever wants the book bad enough will probably get it. The more oomph you put into your comment below, the more people will probably vote for it. (notice my use of the word, 'probably.' I make no guarantees.)

So, comment below telling me why you want my book and the top 5 comments with the most upvotes wins. I'll then contact each winner directly, securing their mailing address. This is a physical book. In the case of a tie(s), that can be accommodated as well.

Here's a video that explains a little more about my book and the process:

Here's a fun photo of me when I did my very first book marketing campaign on the streets that failed miserably.

I ended up sort of hiding behind my book replica, giving up on marketing altogether, and reading on my smartphone while I was hiding behind it. I also ended up drawing on the backside of the replica as strangers passed by me on the street. It was a total waste of time and it made me realize that it's much better to utilize energy on the internet and pursue my efforts in a digital space. It's way less humiliating:

And in case you need to visualize what it will be like when you start reading my book, here you go:

Here's the back cover:

Oh, and here's the most embarrassing part of the entire book. I dedicated it to James Altucher and this drawing appears in the very front of it, in the dedication part:

The reason I say, "most embarrassing" is that James Altucher never mentioned this fact or alluded to it. We are acquaintances, and so, this is personally embarrassing because him not mentioning it perhaps means that my book is not exactly up to par. James has publicly stated that he likes my work, but I still feel embarrassed about dedicating my book to him.

In case you're not convinced yet if you want my book or not, consider reading the Amazon reviews. I believe there are about 14 of them so far. Here is one by Todd S.:

"This is not your average self-help book. It's actually an eclectic mix of self-help, biography, and funny anecdotes, The path through this book is winding and many of the stories are tender and heartfelt. One moment you're laughing and the next moment your jaw has dropped and you're wondering 'How could this have happened?'

I think what I loved most about this book is that it's not pretentious at all. The author makes no presumptions about being a person with all of the answers or being some kind of fully reformed guru; rather; the author is actively working through her demons by writing this book and invites you to JOIN her on this journey (with your own problems, of course) as opposed to telling you what you need to do to have a better life. It's a gradual--sometimes jerky--process of change that the author is fully realizing herself and it's through this gradual transformation that you can begin to see the visions for your own change.

I highly recommend this book." -Todd S.

If you want to read any of the other Amazon reviews, go here.

It's about 90 pages long so most people can get through it.

Let me know in the comments below if you want it. May the most popular comments win! Let the games begin!

Thanks for reading,
Stellabelle

ps- If you don't want the book, but instead just want to become a better writer, I wrote a Survival Guide For Super Newbie Writers post that has a lot of helpful writing tips in it. Check it out. It is widely tweeted, and I get a notification on Twitter about 5 times per day, letting me know someone shared it. It's the only viral thing I've ever really created on the internet.
