jesus fuck, self publishing.

so IT’S A HAPPENER YAY W00T

publishing date is 2 NOV 2020.

book page: https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/libra/

so i need to get text to amazon 3 days before, and smashwords wants ten days before. (i might push smashwords date back.)

at this point 95% of my problems are marketing and promotion.

the other 5% are re-remembering mercifully repressed details of the self-publishing process, given the inarguable certainty of universal laws that computers are dogshit. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

in more comforting news, here's past asset bubble veteran Inch to offer calming advice on writing:

Is bitcoin still a thing?
It seems so 2018.

I have vague recollections of what this book is about. Is this your second bitcoin one?

(2020 has been a trip - I mean, your daughter is a teen now, right? - but I am sure a sequence of events happened once.)

Recommendation for future books -- use Draft2Digital rather than Smashwords. It's much better at international payments and tax stuff, has an interface that seems designed some time later than 1993, doesn't just repeatedly throw a million errors every time you upload an ebook until you sacrifice a goat, has dynamically-updating author information (so every time you publish a new book, the "also by this author" pages in the old books and the author bio auto-update), and creates nifty author pages like https://books2read.com/ap/vxbkLR/andrew-hickey and book pages like https://books2read.com/b/mVrzYM , which will take people to their retailer of choice.

Congratulations!

Since my entire job is helping self-published authors market their books, let me know if I can be of any help. :)
