		<title>Selling on Amazon Marketplace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I decided to offer the books in another form on Amazon.com to see if I could get more quantities going on, and to offer something to people who weren&#8217;t comfortable sending me a check personally.  I wanted to offer brand spanking new books with the option for an autograph to the customers.

		<description><![CDATA[This is the second of the three things I want to talk about regarding self publishing, and something that is a bit of a sore spot with me.  The bottom line is this: YOU AS AUTHOR have to let people know you&#8217;ve got a book out there!
There&#8217;s no way around it.  I noticed [...]]]></description>

		<title>A bit of a weekend hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through monday.  Turns out that my alma mater has a program at their library where grads can borrow books.
Consequently, regular posting (or as regular as I can get) will resume on Monday (even though it is a federal holiday).

		<title>Pricing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, as I mentioned earlier today, in the last three weeks I have sold more books than in the last year and a half.

		<title>Uptick in sales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s been a while since I updated this blog.  For that I apologize, but for the last two years I was neck deep in something that the natives call &#8220;school.&#8221;  But that&#8217;s more or less done now, and I have a PhD.

		<title>info re: Lulu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at Artmark, there&#8217;s a good article giving some more indepth details about Lulu for self publishing.
In summation, it seems that in addition to publishing, they also have a little side deal going where they &#8220;guarantee&#8221; clicks to your page listing your work.  I&#8217;m agreement with the author, I&#8217;m not sure how that would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over on Doc Morgan&#8217;s Blog, he brought up Blurb.  Now, as I&#8217;ve gone on createspace for Inanis the Hooded, and am somewhat familiar with different self publishing situations (while giving for &#8220;REAL&#8221; publishers the 6-9 months they needed to tell me they weren&#8217;t going to publish my book (bitter?  not much, just bored)) [...]]]></description>

What are we doing here?  This blog is going to be chronicling the journey of self publishing my first book.
