Big sales ranking means very many similarly classified books of others have sold more copies

 My books are for sale at the www.amazon.com internet bookshop, and most of them one can find via my author page www.amazon.com/author/khtervola . At individual book's info there quite often is a sales ranking. That means if the book were on the most sold books' list, how many different books the list should have for my book to be the lowest, i.e. least sold on that list. The listings somehow take into account for how long the book has been for sale. Mostly my books haven't sold any copies, except me myself having bought one or two of some of them. Yet the subjects are often interesting (and my quality as a thinker good), so some might guess them having sold thousands of copies, even tens of thousands. Such is the feeling when writing my blogs, as if some really would like the blogs and the new posts, and the free versions of my books. But somehow that does not seem to lead to any books sold. 

At least in Finnish the names with the word "terve" as somehow a part of the name, interest many who would like to get healed or learn healing skills and stay fully healthy. So maybe such creates an impression of fame even if the name isn't the same and isn't the point, and even though such person's versions of these skills often differ a lot, but anyway the subject seems worth a glance for quite many.

15th of June 2024   If the sales ranking as a number seems to relate to your view of how many would maybe have liked to read the book or at least glance it through, maybe that impression of a number is how many would have liked tl borrow it from a library or as an ebook from an elibrary, and only a much much smaller number would have liked to have such a book on their own book shelf in the long run.

13th of October 2024   I found one book of mine being high in some ranking: #82 in "Business of Art Reference" my book "Traditional skills have a place in the modern world", see https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DF5D39QL , I guess because in it was told of the piece of news from Mikkeli that lots of things had been stolen from some house, and there was an explanation guess of it plus such handiwork good side skill/skills taught / described. 

Now later today

My birthday and my childhood name

My birthday is 8. of August. As numbers 8.8. it brings to my ming four round circle like things of which two pairs are more closely connected. The healthy round forms bring to my mind symbiosis and a model of the world. So it is like one form of my paradise theory. I have not noticed it having influenced my thinking, except that I have come to notice the possibility of such a model and on the other hand my childhood environment maybe saw such a view as part of what I might be like because of my birthday. Late summer is also a time of warmth at the same time with the need to defend the good things summer brings, the loves in one's life from the coming autumn and winter. So that too may have affected my view on what is the task of thinking, theory and work. * * * (7. March 2016 As a child I had the last name Hari, so my name Kaisa Hari bought the associations "keisari" = emperor and "tsaari" = Russian tsar (emperor). So I took it to my task to cultivate some...

My writing work is over

 For the last four years i have concentrated more and more on writing my text Skills of Christmas gnomes. I do not know why but it is globally interesting subject that many read about sometimes. But the text has been ready for over a month, and i no longer have anything global to write about. So my career in writing is over, even though like others in this modern era i may write this and that, texts of no big signifogance or of not so good quality. Writing has obstructed my lufe surprisingly much, so there aren't much new subjects to write about.

About the skill levels and values of my environment

 I have lived most of my life at the capital district of Finland. Especially as younger almost all adults in my environment were academical or academically inclined. So the ordinary skill level of academical people and their amount of common sense and of following civiliced values has been quite typical in my younger years' environment, also what I have read had often been inclined toward communicating to such people. On the other hand academical people often seek to communicate globally in their work like writings, and so one typical point of comparison is the style and skill level of the thin Chinese who tend to use terminology, so even though we are in another cultural domain, the skill level often isn't so high that it would use a completely different approach without a communication possibility with also the thin Chibese being aimed at. And so after reading my texts many are disappointed at the level of quality and trustworthiness of my younger years' social envuronmen...
