So, between smashwords and lulu, I have officially sold ten books. Am I a real author yet?
It's pretty amazing how much differently people have reacted to the news of me having an ebook compared to me holding up the printed copy. And it is exciting--there is something about the smell of the pages of a book that cannot be replaced by any ereader. But at the same time, it feels like people don't think you've published a book until you can physically hold it in front of you. It's interesting, especially since through sites like lulu you can literally publish anything and get it printed for yourself. But nothing beat seeing the pride on my mother's face when we opened my box of proofs and she could see her daughter's name on the spine of that book.
So, who has finished it? What do you think?
