Just did my mid-month check on sales, and I’m obviously on Amazon’s algorithmic shitlist at the moment, as happens occasionally and AFAICT randomly*. Thankfully I publish wide so I only lose 50% of sales rather than 100%.

It’s funny how the brain adapts, though, it’s only been a few years since I would have been *thrilled* by the sales I do have so far this month, not disappointed. Hedonic treadmill in action!

And on the plus side, some of my less popular books are selling, which generally means someone liked one of my most popular two and is reading the backlist, which is always nice to see 😊

*or perhaps people are finally properly boycotting the fascist billionaire 🎉

Coworker asked why I have a box by my desk.

Me “It has my books. You never know when someone wants to buy a book. Hey [other coworker], you wanna buy a book?” Laugh laugh laugh.

Other Coworker: “Wait, you wrote a book? Yeah I’ll get one!”

So I sold a book.

Always be closing, y’all. 😆
