🌲 One Week as a Published Author - Release/Royalty Stats #IndieAuthor

 

It’s been one week since I pressed publish, held my breath, and let my stories step into the world. And in seven days, here’s where things stand:

✨ 1,317 pages read
💵 $5.53 earned
📚 0 direct sales

On paper, those numbers might look small. But to me, they mean someone—maybe even several someones—picked up my book, flipped through the pages, and stayed with the story long enough to keep reading. That matters. That’s the start of something.

Because for me, this isn’t just about a hobby. It’s about turning words into a future. Every page read is a step closer to catching up on overdue bills, cutting the cycle of late fees, and one day building the dream I talk about so often: a cabin, off-grid, where paycheck-to-paycheck living no longer rules my life.

This first week has shown me that even tiny beginnings have value. The number isn’t just $5.53—it’s 1,317 pages of hope. It’s proof that readers are out there.

So if you’re reading this, I’d love for you to be part of this journey with me:

• If you have Kindle Unlimited, my books are free to read there.

• If you don’t, sharing a post, leaving a review, or even just following my author page makes a huge difference.

Every little ripple of support grows into something bigger. One week in, I’m still at the starting line. But I’m here, I’m writing, and I’m moving forward—page by page, story by story.

Thank you for being here with me at the beginning. I can’t wait to see where this road leads.
