I've sold 600 books. The average indie author sells 300, so I'm above average. I'm hoping to hit 1000 this year, but I know I need to advertise to pull it off. May looks like the month I'm going to try.

Interestingly enough, I have not written another story since last October. It was a pretty good story. However, the other two were not, and I need 12 good stories to publish.

I find that blogging is satisfying my need to write. I post on Facebook under www.facebook.com/lkfwilson and I have about 100 "real" followers. (I bought some. Very unneccessary.)

Thanks for checking up on me - I appreciate it.

Short stories are every bit as hard as longer works, IMO. CrispyQ Apr 2023 #3
