Musings

  • I got my first royalty payment from Amazon the other day.
  • Note to self – before moving appliances and cleaning up the basement, you need more in your stomach than a glass of cranberry juice and two cups of coffee.
  • Derby, the little black dog, makes the same sound when she is dreaming as someone trying to start a Fiat with a weak battery.  It’s kind of weird to hear that coming through the house at 3 AM.
  • I got a late Christmas present the other day.  Irish Woman handed me a box of 12 gauge slugs and apologized for not putting them in my stocking.
  • When shipping a copy of your book to someone for a review, it would behoove you to triple check the address to which you are shipping it.
  • I’m going to start research on time travel so I can go back a couple of months and stop Irish Woman from purchasing Boo a fart gun for Christmas.

    >royalty payment from Amazon the other day

    I have heard some authors say they make more from the sales commision that Amazon gives people who click through their website via their affiliate program to make purchases of their books, than they do the royalty on the sale of that book.

      If I were doing it for money, this would be a one and done kind of hobby. So far, I’m getting enough out of it that it’s about even on what I’ve spent on the book and what I’ve gotten in royalties and such.

    Yeah, between you and I we ‘might’ be able to afford Denny’s… And the truly sad part is I KNOW what a Fiat with a low battery sounds like… Damn crew cars… sigh
