I love that "Chicken Soup For The Soul" is a book that made the two "authors" rich, even though they didn't write a word of it :-)

@StrictLoving They might have written a few themselves

StrictLoving · 56-60, M

@SimplyTracie no - they were all submitted - Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen were just editors!

@StrictLoving So out of a dozen or so books, they haven’t written one single story?

StrictLoving · 56-60, M

@SimplyTracie Hundreds.

and no, they're all submitted stories from other people.

Brilliant!

@StrictLoving Hundreds? Oh my. That’s a bunch.

What genre is your favorite?

StrictLoving · 56-60, M

@SimplyTracie well, my favorite author is Edgar Allen Poe, so ...

@StrictLoving I mean from the chicken soup series. For the Christian Souls, or Parents Souls? You know.

@SimplyTracie never read one lol

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

@StrictLoving You should. It’s good for the heart ❤️

@SimplyTracie I'm thinking of starting my own series called "Touching as F"

full of stories that are ... youknow ... touching as f.

all written by people other than me.

I get all the money :-)
