You have to judge your value somehow

I know I'm not supposed to be the wildly obsessive numbers guy, that the only way to approach this writing thing is with a reasonable mindset and a healthy dose of nonchalance, but I'm bad at that. Much as I don't want to, I check the Amazon sales rank of the UK release four or five times a day. Or an hour. Depends. And I especially know I shouldn't do this based on my observations of that number. It was 110,000 this morning, was 16,500 about an hour ago, and is now down in the high 20's. It's a valueless information set. But still...

refresh. refresh. refresh.
