So, yay! I got a story published on Smashwords, which was my goal for the year.
Clicky-link here: Kiss Me Again or check out the fancy-pants widget over there on the right.
Due respect to Smashwords, which is a wonderful website that really, really wants people to publish eBooks. Also, they provide all kinds of stats and data and fancy-pants widgets to help you sell your book.
Also, Wattpad has been a revelation. I'll write something about that at some point too.
So I'm happy now. It was a draft that I'd had knocking around in a more or less finished form for a while, the computer geek big bum story. It was fairly straightforward to get it formatted and uploaded to the site. I'll need to do a bit more work on the next one, but basically, it's great, I've achieved my goal, and I'm keen to do it again very soon.
Also, sold a copy, which makes me feel legitimate. This is important for me.

Hurrah!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news, congratulations!
Anyone would think you are a good writer with the possibility of a fan-base of actual paying readers or something ;)
You'd think that, wouldn't you. Thing is, I know who my one customer is, and she sort of doesn't count because I gave her the link. If I can snare an unwary passer-by and get them to part with cash on the basis of my writing alone, that will be something.
DeleteI also gave a free copy to someone I met on Wattpad, because, well, she's awesome.
