Kirk Tuck's blog mentioned mine, which explains the uptick in traffic and comments (about a 10x increase, actually, from incredibly tiny to merely very small). As I occasionally (twice a day, maybe three times, tops. usually) do, I checked up on the sales stats for my little book, and I made seven bucks recently. Which, while on the one hand hilarious, on the other hand is some sort of personal best here. I continue to be amused and pleased that the silly thing sells a little now and then, and I sincerely hope those of you who splurge for it get some value.
Ima take my proceeds and buy me a copy of The Lisbon Portfolio which has been on my radar for a while, but I never quite got around to buying. I went through the ToP affiliate links, because I figure Kirk's already getting paid once here!
You should do it too!
If we ain't take care of one another, who is, after all. Spend more money on Art.
So, I raced to order a copy so that I could beat the upsurge in price Amazon's dynamic pricing software will undoubtedly apply.
ReplyDeleteAs a new reader of the blog, I'd say don't hide the existence of your book. Plug it once in a while. Even just a little sidebar box with a link if you wish to maintain a discrete distance from such commercialism.
I came to your blog via Kirk Tuck's blog, I am finding it very enjoyable, like your no nonsense style, very refreshing. Where can I find details of your book?
DeleteActually, the phrase "my little book" in the original post above is a hyperlink to the amazon page!
DeleteIt's a kindle (kindle only, sorry) book on composition, which had been pretty well received by the dozen or so people who's read it ;)
The writing here is great. You deserve a wider audience!
