Great Expectations

 The real life of a writer

Aye, happen as expectations and reality never meet, especially for the Indie Writer.

Years ago, my expectation was to sell 10 copies of one eBook in a month; these days, I don't sell 10 eBooks a year - out of the 30 I have for sale - on over a dazen links with Draft2Digital. The main problem with D2D is they send free copies to lending libraries, the author does not get paid until a set number of copies have been sent out; but there is no definite figure, so we never get paid, even though the readers get to read our books.

Well; it's not an issue for me now, my days as a writer are as far behind me as the days of the Raj, and the British Empire.
