Writerly milestone...

or maybe just a sales milestone. Just saw my book sales figures for the second half of 2009 and when added to my other various sales for 2009, '09 was my best year ever as a filthy pro. This is, of course, wildly relative, but the numbers indicate that more than 5 people are reading my work. I more or less know this intellectually, if not always emotionally, but this is actual proof. Wow. I'm very, very pleased and feeling like all the effort has been worthwhile. 
And thanks! :-D
