Disillusion

A while ago I received notification that I’d had a royalty payment from the retail universe of Amazon.  I then promptly forgot about it until today when I decided I’d check that it had been paid to my new account.

Firstly, it had which is great as I’m trying to streamline our finances and also keep my business (my very very small scale business) separate.  Secondly, it was for £0.01 I mean wow, just how rubbish is that?  I know I’m not doing a lot to promote my books, and I know that poetry isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but still I’m feeling rather disillusioned right now.
