Paid
Today something very significant happened; I got my first payment from Amazon/Kindle Digital Publishing. Note: it takes a long time to get paid for your ebook sales, like three months. I’m still waiting for my B&N money.
I’ve certainly been paid for my writing before, but it was mostly tiny amounts. $50, maybe, with little residual checks here and there. This is the first time I’ve gotten a significant amount of money for my writing and it does a lot to validate things for me. It’s not that money is the end all be all of validation, but it is something real and quantifiable that says my work is paying off. It also allows me to keep working and to work harder.
So I went out into the rainy city a little happier this morning. My coffee tasted better having been bought with “writer money.” This weekend I hope to publish the first of what will be twelve new ebooks in 2012.
Wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
