I Can’t Stop Looking at Amazon
Please excuse me for writing this but I just have to “reduce” my feelings to paper.
Until you write a book, you will never know what a god-awful torment it can be. It literally took me the better part of six to seven years and thousands (and I mean thousands) of hour to write my book Why You Really Hurt: It All Starts In The Foot, the story of the Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe).
So there you are, finally your book is out and for sale. However, who will buy it?
It turns out that writing the book is the easy part, selling it is even tougher.
So it goes for sale and our friends at Amazon place it into the proper group My was put into the group of “podiatry books”. Amazon lists 100 books in this classification. The rating of the books change every hour depending on books sales So like most new authors I am constantly checking my rating. Well some how with a lot of nice people writing about the book, it has been rated #1 under podiatry for most of the last 3 days.
Let me explain I have done a lot of neat things in my life, and had a lot great things happen to me but to have my book rated #1 on Amazon is right at the top of the supreme things to happen to me.
The truth is every hour I check to see if I am still number 1! Sometime I slip behind the Dentistry book (see last blog) but most of the time I am at the top of the list. Please I apologize if you take this as bragging, I just want to share with my friends and family how wonderful this feels. You see many of them put up with me all of those years any excitement belongs to them also.
