Hi everyone. Well, I, this weekend I just had to kind of shut myself down a little bit. I mean, I actually went online both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday, it’s like, I started to think, what am I doing? What am I doing to myself? I’m going online every single day doing stuff. And I, I don’t think it’s good for me to do that. So I am seriously, seriously thinking of taking a break either on weekends or just one day of the weekend from all online activity. Seriously. I’m, I’m just really starting to think about that.

I hope you don’t mind that I refer to notes every now and then, because frankly, the material is important. It’s important for you to understand what happened and how it happened. And what I want to get into a little bit today is the history of indie publishing in terms of the importance of Amazon, the significance of Amazon. Okay. I mentioned before that everything was really great in 2011 and I thought, Oh, you know, I’m selling well, people like my books, they’re putting up good reviews. So the more books I write, the better I’ll do. Right? So I’ll just keep coming out with a book a year and hopefully everybody will keep buying and I’ll do great.
