I just added up the expenses of the cover art, ads, editing (which I only hired the editor for a chapter or two...not a conventional strategy), etc. I compared it to the earnings I've made from book sales and Patreon support. And it turns out I've made several hundred dollars back from this venture. Never thought this would happen. It was a passion project, little more. And I was very nervous about putting it out there. I actually had to have people push me and tell me to publish it. I don't know what to feel. Overwhelmed? (Imposter syndrome intensifies.)
