Week Twenty-Two Monetary Report

Relatively speaking, another profitable week. I made $8.00 from book sales. To clarify, I sold six books and was handed $62.00. But, the books cost me $54.00 to buy from my publisher. So, the profit is only $8.00. If I had sold the books at full price (which I seldom do), I would have actually had $36.00 in profits. Clearly, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to turning a profit.

So, let's see . . . adding the eight bucks . . . my profits for the year thus far stand at $745.49.

Pitiful, really, but it's something.

On another note, I did reach a milestone. I wanted to have sold 400 copies of my novel by June 16th of this year (the two-year aniversary of its release). Well, I don't have to wait . . . I can announce now that my novel, Into the Desperate Country, has sold 402 copies.

My new goal? . . . 500 copies sold by next June.

Only 98 to go.
