Starting Out
Well, today has been a very exciting one.
I published my first book, "Z14", on Amazon, for Kindle. And then I spent the rest of the day realising I had no clue what I was doing, and getting the book "out there" at all had been a heck of an achievement for me.
So, although I was at work, I spent most of the rest of the day clicking "refresh" on my Amazon sales report page.
Slow progress. Five sales (thanks friends and family!). And yet, five sales is enough to get you to number #83 in Amazon.co.uk's Fiction > Humour category.
That's either bizarre or encouraging - I'm not sure which, yet.
Maybe tomorrow I can get over the shock of beating my mental inertia and actually getting my book released, and focus on marketing the hell out of the thing.
Hey, buy my book, it's fun! (Hah, I know, I know, I've got to try harder than that!)

Just the odd thought or two that springs from my mind about my writing, my reads, and my experiences with self publishing.
