Another update
The last week saw strong sales, and a review for Zerk; hopefully others are trickling through Amazon’s system, which is running very slow lately.
I was especially pleased by a few sales of Sunstone, my favorite novel and slowest performer. Chains of Honor, traditionally another dust-gatherer, is working on having a good showing for a second month in a row.
I price my books to sell because while I enjoy money, I enjoy the idea of people reading my work even more.
As to productivity, last week I was hampered by getting sick, a moderate case of Ebola with a touch of cholera that would have killed a lesser man, but I have recovered. While I was able to write Game to 29,000 words, it was only by not doing any work on YGAT #3.
I have a project, Call to Arms, that has been stalled at 53,000 words for months, hung up on a final plot arc issue, but over the weekend I was hit by an inspiration that might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
I find this weekly report seems to be helping; despite being sick I hammered at the keyboard rather than have to admit I didn’t make much progress.
As usual I have more ideas and stalled projects than time to work on them, but retirement is definitely having a positive impact on output.
I hope everyone’s holidays are going well, and remember: Amazon gift cards and a recommendation of a hard-working indie writer’s books combine the best in efficiency and the personal touch!
