Literally, I took the life and spontaneity of my stories out by over-plotting. When I first started writing, I thought for sure I was a plotter. Maybe a general idea of the central story action, but nothing specific and always open to whatever the writing brings. A pantster is someone who writes ‘by the seat of their pants’. Often, these plots are detailed and exact down to each scene and character motivation. Basically, a plotter is someone who plots their novels out ahead of time. In writer’s circles, there is a lot of talk about whether you are a “plotter” or a “pantster”. Any chance I’ll someday have sold over 1,000,000? I can’t even imagine it right now! The fact that over 1,000 readers have picked up my book and that so many of them have emailed me or left positive ratings and reviews makes me so incredibly happy.īook 3: Shadow Demons, is coming in February 2011.Since I’m at the very beginning of plotting Book 4 of the Peachville High Demons series, I thought I would do a post about the way I plot a novel. The next for me would be 10,000 books sold. 1,000 books is my first of those milestones. I plan to write a blog post for each major milestone. Even I can’t wait to see what happens next with some of them.

It’s fun to write, and I love the characters. I hope you enjoyed them!! I definitely am loving this series. on B&N.) I’m thrilled beyond words! Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased my books.

(October doesn’t totally count for me since my book was published October 30th on Kindle and not until Nov. I never dreamed I would be able to sell 1,000 books in just a couple of months. We’ll see! If anyone reading this has any tips on how to improve sales in the Kindle store, I’m all ears! Hopefully after more exposure online, word of mouth will get my sales even in both Kindle and B&N stores. Over the next few months, I am hoping to send out a ton of free books to reviewers and book bloggers in hopes that some people will enjoy the book and put out a good review on their site. I have a feeling that mostly has to do with placement on the site and how many titles I’m competing with in my genre over there. At Smashwords, I’ve sold only 2 copies.Īs you can see, I’m barely selling anything through Kindle in comparison, and Smashwords is even worse. 37 of those through Amazon and 353 through B&N. Inner Demons: Book 2 of the Peachville High Demons series has sold a total of 392 books. 124 through Amazon’s Kindle store and 689 through B&N. My true total of sales to date: 1,218 books.īeautiful Demons: Book 1 of the Peachville High Demons series has sold a total of 826 books. It’s like a little belated Christmas present every morning! I’m not sure why they are so far behind on their reporting, but everyday I wake up with more Dec.

Since first publishing at the very end of October 2010, I have reached my first major milestone – 1,000 books sold! As I mentioned yesterday, December sales at Barnes & Noble continue to roll in.
