Writerly Stuff: First Copy Sold!

First Copy Sold!

I'm not the type to continually check how much I've sold. Pessimist? When it comes to this self publishing stuff?

Damn right.

I hadn't checked my Smashwords dashboard in quite a while, but I was reading through this post on J. A. Marlowe's blog (the first of two excellent posts on the subject of Smashwords) when I figured, why not?

Hadn't checked it since the middle of last month.

And, lo and behold...I sold 1 copy!!!!!!!!!

After the depressing news here at work, this was a welcome ray of sunshine.

Not that I'm ready to quit my day job, lol, but it's just nice to see something positive.

Back to work...

Nancy Beck said...: THANKS all! It's great to finally get that over with - and I have a separate post thanking YOU for your support.

Without your support, it wouldn't be worth doing this blog. Hell, it wouldn't be worth putting my stuff out there.

OK, maybe not. It's a lot of work.

Still, it's wonderful to know you're being read. :-)

One of these days I'm going to put up a new title.

Best,
