March Was Fun – Mostly

 
I started March with 7 ebooks (2 novels, 3 collections, and 2 short stories), and finished it with 13 (+1 novel, +5 short stories). I don't plan quite as many new releases for April (+1 collection, +2 short stories), but the month is young yet. Also, I launched Four Crows Landing in March. So I stayed busy in March. I even wrote quite a bit in GoSH1.
 
March sales, so far, are on par with February. Which is good in that they didn't get worse. I say "so far" because the resellers Smashwords distributes through often take a month or more to fully report all the sales in a given month. For example, at the end of March, there were new sales reported that happened in January and February. So it could be May or June before the March numbers are final.
 
My ebook assembly line is getting smoother and faster. Nothing like lots of practice to get better at something, and I had lots of practice in March.
 
All that said, March was an emotional roller coaster. Up, down, swoop, swipe, dip, toss, turn, throw, catch, bump, slump, dump … No crashing, though. Which is good. Crashing is never good.
 
I'm getting a much better understanding of why authors, and artists in general, develop drinking problems.
 
So now it's April. I'm hoping it's fun too. I can see the roller coaster waiting for me…
