I got my first payments from both Amazon and BN. It's the first time I've ever been payed for writing anything. Feels pretty good, I don't care (at the moment) that it's not a lot of cash. eBooks are forever. I'm like a real boy!

Exciting, isn't it?  Congrats!

 

[ed_marrow]

Thanks. It was a real thrill on a looooooong weekend.

 

[CatherineIsom]

[Mel Comley]

Aren't you lucky my first check has gone missing!

Congrats!

YOU are now a PROFESSIONAL novelist.  Congratulations, Ed!

 

[JRTomlin]

It is exciting. It's not the first time I was paid for my writing, but it is exciting anyway to know that this is the first of a growth. More novels, more payments down the road...

 

[jackblaine]

Yay!  Congrats to you!

 

[ed_marrow]

Thanks, everyone. It's a lifetime goal of mine. Ever since I read the first Dragonlance book when I was in middle school, writing a book was my goal. To get paid for doing something you love is the best.

Cool cover and nice blurb, too!

Congrats!

Not only are you a real boy, Mr. Pinocchio, but you are a real writer. Congrats!

How exciting! Congrats

Now I just need to get the sequel going, so I don't lose momentum.

Hi ed!

I know how you feel! Yesterday I´ve received my first payment too!

I took the cheque (I live in Spain, no bank tranfers are allowed outside the US), and for an instant I got a strange feeling: Like if I were a diferent person, like if I´ve evolutioned into a different profession.

Like if I had found my place in the world...

Do everyone get their payments at the same time? I'm wondering when mine should show up (direct deposited), since I just concluded my first month.

They pay sixty days after the end of a month where you make either $10(direct deposit) or $100(check in the mail).

 

[Ryne Billings]

Oh, bummer. And here I was hoping to see these royalties soon. Thanks!

You're welcome. I'm still unpublished, but I read the KDP Q&A quite a bit.

 

[Ryne Billings]

I guess that's something I should strongly consider doing instead of flinging questions about on the internet higgledy-piggledy, huh?

Nope. I prefer flinging questions about.

I rarely ever read instructions, as it is.
