I self-published my first book in February 2017. This streak, my first, took me eight years to achieve. 🥺💖

If you want to help me get to the full year (which will be Friday!), now is the perfect week to buy one of my books or short stories! ✨

I'm still so shook! 😭💖

kitchenraptorj.bsky.social•106 days ago

Very proud of you!

bookspotlight.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thank you so much!! 🥺

How exciting! I’m not quite there, but getting better day by day. Ignore the big blue line for book sales last summer—it never happened & Az never corrected it 🤷🏻‍♀️. Otherwise, clearly the 2nd 1/2 of the Yr was better than the first! Now…hoping people realize their Zon boycott only hurts little folks.

bookspotlight.bsky.social•106 days ago

You’re doing amazing!! 💪💪💪

erinbauthor.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thank you. I keep reminding myself that bamboo grows silently underground for years before shooting straight to the sky 😁

bookspotlight.bsky.social•106 days ago

Oh my gosh, I actually *love* that as a saying.

erinbauthor.bsky.social•105 days ago

I guess I missed my calling as a writer of inspirational quotes 😁

oblivioncubed.bsky.social•106 days ago

That's fantastic, good job!

pennyheartbooks.bsky.social•107 days ago

that is so freaking cool! congrats!

you inspired me to track page reads/sales when i started to see them more regularly. while there were many days that were tiny (1-2 page reads on KU) and other times it was a mix of platforms (amazon, kobo, draft2digital), i'm on day 102 of reader activity!

erinbauthor.bsky.social•106 days ago

Penny, that’s definitely a milestone! Way to go!

bookspotlight.bsky.social•107 days ago

Oh my gosh, that’s awesome!! Well done!!

thank you for being inspirational! i know it's easy to get down when so many people pile on the negativity, but you honest-to-goodness brought a bright light to my life. i'm a baby author, but i'm a million times further ahead than i ever imagined, in huge part because of social media connections!
