Two weeks in, closing in on seven hundred copies sold. I haven't done any more promotion, beyond a single mention on my blog.
Kindle sales have radically outstripped Smashwords, at nearly five hundred copies to Smashwords' two hundred, but from this vantage point, Smashwords still looks very worthwhile. We've found a few more typos (oh god, it never ends) and I hope to correct those this week.
Overall, it's pretty neat. Not gonna quit my day job, but neat.
(Somewhat ironically, I was actually excited to get a four-star review--yay! Now it looks like a real book and not like my friends are being nice to me or I'm out begging for five-star reviews!)
The desire to do it again is rising. It's sort of like tattoos, I guess--you get one and it's excruciating and a few months later you're going "I should totally do that again."
