I'm having something of a late start today because I was up late last night, but I'm in pretty good shape for finishing the chapter and posting it today. We had a lot of good election-related news here in Maryland, so my mood is pretty light.
I've already made two sales on my story on Smashwords. One thing I'm immediately noticing is that they seem to give a better cut of a 99 cent story than Amazon does... I'll have to look at it in more detail to understand, though, because I got 56 cents of the first sale and 81 cents of the second one.
This is one reason I've dragged my feet so long about Smashwords... it's just less user-friendly than Amazon. As a self-publishing platform it does seem to be superior in many ways to Kindle Desktop Publishing, but it hasn't been engineered for as low a common denominator as Amazon so there's a bit more of a learning curve.
The State of the Me
Doing okay.
Plans For Today
Big thing is finishing and posting a chapter.
