Okay, so it has been a few months since I published on Nook and Apple. Wow, Apple was a bear. I got MacInClouds to work but it was slow. Ignoring that, it is funny that a company that prides itself on easy to use products such as the iPhone can have such counter-intuitive processes. Needs some Usability studies.
Nook wasn't that bad. It had an okay process and except for having to re-format the document, it wasn't bad. Having said that... I am removing my book from both services. While it is probably due to my lack of promoting I didn't actually sell anything. Really, nothing. This is in marked contrast to Amazon, whose sales have petered out, but had some decent activity for a period of time. I bow my head to the Amazon deities and will use their services going forward. On the bright side, this allows me to use Amazon KDP Select again. Whoot.
On to news regarding the book 2. I am on chapter 19. While the first book had only 21 chapters I am findings my chapters are tending to be shorter on average so this is only 2/3 done.
I am also thinking of putting a few of the early chapters of Book 1 up on Spacebattles. I am not sure anyone has ever heard of it. In fact, I never heard of it until about a year and half ago. Think of it as the forums version fanfiction.net with a bit of an obsession with a specific web novel. Wait! You never heard of fanfiction.net either?!? Yeah, most people look at me the same way...
I may also put up an earlier fanfiction story I wrote on Spacebattles, mostly to encourage myself to finish it. It is only a few chapters from completion but it has been stalled for literally years. I learned a lot from writing that story. I think you can see it in my writing as the story goes on. And it was a hoot. I still get people favoriting it, but Ranma fanfiction is pretty dead. Too bad, I still enjoy it.
