I'm a bit late on my Friday post again. last week had a lot going on. Friday was my last day at the Outpost. And since they have everything on sale it was busy. After work I jumped right into a craft fair, which was also busy. It didn't result in as many sales as I would have liked, but we did finally pass the 200 mark for copies of Madamn sold!
I have one more in person event before the end of the year in my hometown. While I don't think I will sell 800 copies, I am grateful I decided to increase my goal from the simple 100 books by the end of the year. It's been a thrill to watch all of the sale numbers and to be learning and growing so much since the launch.
With any luck, I would love to sell another 50 copies before the end of the year. That would allow me to at least make it to 25% of the original goal, which feels both doable and a great milestone. I just love nice, round numbers like that, they are so satisfying!
Also exciting, Madamn continues to get great reviews. I had someone stop me in the street last week to say how much they were enjoying my book, and at the craft fair, I had no less than 3 people stop and say they haven't finished it yet, but they are just so impressed with how well it is written. I can't tell you how much that means to small indie authors.
If you have a book you enjoy, please reach out to the author and let them know. Writing can be a lonely business and you can really get into your own head with questions and self doubt. We live for little comments like these. Even more so when they are shared with others.
Anywho, since I'm no longer at the Outpost and unable to holiday travel today (gotta love Wyoming weather), I plan to finally get started writing a few scenes for my next novel, so I'm going to switch gears. But I will try to get in a couple more posts before the end of the year so you know where we end!
