It's been a long time since I spent any time here at the water cooler, but I've just spent an hour reading this whole thread.
Congratulations to everyone who has had some success and some who have had exceptional success. It is always inspiring to hear about others who are doing well.
I write cookbooks, so that's quite a bit different from most of you here who all seem to be writing fiction. My first four cookbooks came out right at the end of January and then I had two additional ones come out in March. And yes, I wrote them all myself, I did not copy and paste from the Internet.
I actually wrote two best-selling print cookbooks back in the early 1990s so I have had experience in the field.
Anyway, I think I've sold a total of about 7,500 copies so far. Each book has had one day of free downloads with over 15,000 being downloaded for each book as well.
I am thinking about adding to the collection and also thinking about creating a compilation of all the books in a paper edition through Createspace. Not sure yet but I'll make a decision soon.
This thread is really inspirational and I have gained much from reading through it. I'm thankful to have found it.
