First SALES!

Hey, so I just ranted on the dificulties of self-publishing so I suppose I should now speak of the rewards. For one, I JUST SOLD MY FIRST BOOK YESTERDAY!Actually I sold three! The satisfaction in that small accomplishment goes well beyond the money made off the sales. It feels quite amazing to know that my work will be held in the hands of people, moving their minds to think and their souls to feel. I've had help along the way, my English professor who oversaw my independent study was a huge help through editing and creative advice, and my classmate who also helped to contribute to the process. The publishing aspect though, thats been entirely me, and it feels great to be able to make my work available to the masses.

I guess you could call this a happy rant, but I'm pretty happy. Hopefully many more sales will come, and people will really enjoy my writing. Its really not about the money, but getting my work out there to anyone who is interested. Soon, I should even be on amazon.com and Google. For now though, purchases just go through lulu.com

I'm also hoping to get started with some local book stores as well for all those who aren't as internet savy, or comfortable buying online. For me, it hasn't been all that difficult so far, yes I have been careful in calculating expenses and potential profits and losses, but it isn't all that risky.

Hopefully, in a few months, or years, you'll even be able to say you followed me in the process as I rose to be a reputable writer. Or maybe I'll just have moderate sales and still no one will know me, but either way, you read it here first.
