For all my talk of notebooks the other day, we are firmly en-meshed in the digital world, are we not?What a strange world it is:
- I have written a 'virtual' book (Tales from a Broken Biro: There Will Be Ink)
on my computer and published it online.
- People can buy it on (and read off) a screen.
- I am promoting it using Twitter to friends I've only met in the ether, and they to their wider networks
- I have already sold (and given away in yesterday's promotion) a total of 100 copies, including more than 20 in America
In the first 48 hours it even reached the top ten Amazon Kindle Bestsellers in the free short story category, alongside (okay, a bit under) names I see every day at work - Carole Matthews and Stephen Leather.
Is any of this real? (Answers on a virtual postcard)
