All told, at the end of 2013 sales of my CD had reached the 10% point.

Ten percent of what? Ten percent of what it cost to write, record, engineer, produce, and market the thing.
I released the CD at the end of August, so it took 4 months to get to this point. If sales continue at the rate of 10% every 4 months — an optimistic estimate, since usually sales drop off after the initial surge — then it will take me another 36 months, or until January 2017, to break even on this project.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we refer to as a “labor of love.” Or sheer lunacy; take your choice.
