Obviously, you're not a golfer.
I launched a book yesterday. It's my first, so I don't really have an audience to hype up. I released it mainly so family, friends, and goons could check it out and hopefully drop some reviews. Then I'll make a bigger push (assuming all the reviews aren't awful--in which case it might be time to just move on to another project).

But doing this led me to some really depressing realizations. I sold a handful of paperback and kindle copies yesterday. That was enough to move me from #250,000 on the best sellers list all the way to #25,000. It also put me at #37 on one of the crime fiction lists. So that means on any given day, ~225,000 books on the amazon marketplace sell a near negligible amount of units. That's pretty sobering.
