Podcast Charting - Chapter 6 should be there soon

Well, I have been a little underwhelmed so far by the experience of self-publishing, but today I saw something that re-affirmed my self-image: I appear now on the top ten of the Podiobooks.com titles downloaded in the last 30 days. Admittedly, I'm just at #10, but it still gives me quite a thrill to see that out of some 60 titles, people are choosing mine with some frequency. I have also gotten two sets of positive reviews, and no family member or friend of mine has openly fessed up to giving me those ratings, so I'm very happy about that. (note: I've asked all of the relevant people and I'm trusting that they aren't going around spamming my ratings).

To celebrate, I've uploaded Chapter 6 and notified the ever-helpful Evo Terra with a chapter description. I have Chapter 7 and 9 produced (for some reason, I still have to edit Chapter 8). I am very very busy for the next two weeks testing for my 2nd dan in Tae Kwon Do, but after that I plan to resume recording the final 9 episodes of The Worldwrights and I'll be putting up the other chapters to keep the interest going as I finish those. So about every one to two weeks a new chapter ought to appear if I'm lucky here.
