Amazon Rank: The Author Obsession

Every author obsesses over her Amazon ranking. (Come on, you know it’s true.) I took these snapshots the day I was on the Today Show for Boyology and I watched (almost minute by minute) as my ranking went from 70,000 to 400! I know it’s kind of ridiculous and completely self-indulgent, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t re-freshing the page every 10 minutes that entire day. 400 is the lowest (aka best) I’ve ever been. And it felt good.

The first time I checked after the Today Show. #592.

A few hours later, I drop to #482. Lots of screaming and a celebratory phone call to my sister.

# Four-freaking-hundred!!! Yes, more screaming. More phone calls. Yay!
