what does it all mean, alfie?

A miles­tone of sorts was reached, I sup­pose, at least for me…
Ear­lier today, my book became the NUMBER ONE Top Seller on Ama­zon in the “Crea­ti­vity” cate­gory.
I don’t expect it to stay up there fore­ver, of course– it’s pro­bably already fallen a few points since then [Ama­zon ran­kings are upda­ted hourly, and tend to fluc­tuate wildly]. But to see the pho­to­graphic evi­dence, I made a little screen shot here.
What does this mean? Not much, in all like­lihood. But I think I will go take the rest of the day off…
Thanks for all your sup­port over the years. Seriously.

    Con­gra­tu­la­tions. I only dis­co­ve­red this site four days ago and, as I type, I’m impa­tiently wai­ting for your book to arrive. What I’ve seen thus far online, etc., has been very impres­sive and very ins­pi­ring. Loo­king for­ward to a good read.

    Well, dust off my James Thur­ber and call me a lem­ming, but I think I may have only just this minute pos­ted a review (of sorts) of your book on my fled­gling, sure to suc­cumb to the ele­ments, blahg. Hearty con­gra­tu­la­tions on your well-deserved success.

  3. Dude, kudos. You ear­ned it.

    Con­gra­tu­la­tions, your blog is always an inte­res­ting read. I don’t know if this is a com­ple­ment or not but you always remind me of a college pro­fes­sor. The ideas you have are out there, but you have con­vic­tion enough to live the ideas yourself.

    That’s fan­tas­tic! Con­gra­tu­la­tions and yeah, take that day off in style :)

    Ah crea­ti­vity, just below abuse and just above dreams etc.

    Cheers…

    Con­gra­tu­la­tions. And I thought I’d done well when my novel was lis­ted as a hot title by my own publisher. You win!

    Hey man, I bought the book on Ama­zon last week, finished it yes­ter­day. Loved it! Blake Burris at Coha­bi­tat recom­men­ded that I read it, glad he did. Keep up the good work! –Ajay

    Con­gra­tu­la­tions! I like kno­wing I hel­ped make that pos­si­ble. (thanks to your pre-order the book & get a sig­ned copy free promo)

    The thing I noted and twee­ted was that “Dra­wing From The Right Side Of The Brain” is in that cate­gory. Good com­pany. Good com­pany. For all your fluf­fery and huma­nis­tic ego, your subs­tance really is pro­found, Hugh. I’m glad that might be get­ting through to you.
    Peace.
