Sorry I'm late, but I had marketing stuffs to do.
In writing news, I'm plugging along on Ju-Lo-Wri-Mo - writing every day whether I feel like it or not. Like last night and the night before... totally did not feel like writing. Did it anyway. More about that on Monday. Since 7/1, though, I've added 3772 words to Duke #2. So basically, this is working. It doesn't add up to a lot of time spent writing, but that's good for me for now. My hands need to get used to the activity or I'll write a whole bunch and then spend the next day in pain - which will make me not want to write, which will keep my hands atrophied... It's a vicious circle.
In other writerly news, I've been doing a shitload of marketing. Project Hermes - Kindle version - is free. I've been posting to various FB groups about it. Thus far, I've moved 60 copies and I still have two days to go. Last time I looked, PH was #4 in one of the ranking lists - either medical thriller or conspiracy theory. I'm really hoping this will equate into KU page reads.
In other other writerly news, I discovered some issues with the paperbacks I imported from CreateSpace eons ago. More about that tomorrow. Suffice it to say, it's taken up hours of my time these past couple days and I ain't done yet. Derp.
On the reading front, I finished a couple books last week and I'm most of the way through a large book. I've also picked up some new ebooks, so yay.
I wasn't the most active person this past week. I walked once and did some gardening one morning. Weight: 170.4
Last Sunday, I made an apple crisp. Woohoo. Then on Monday, I made an awesome pork roast in the crockpot. Best one yet. Yummers.
Basically, I'm a boring person. But if you've been here long enough, you either know that or you think otherwise. Thanks for staying with me either way. LOL

Yay for words, boo on hands, yay for books--good numbers! Hope it means real sales, page reads, and reviews! Mmm. Good cookin'.
ReplyDeleteI got no words yesterday. I'll double up today. 1st Saturday plus 4 soccer games. By the time we got home, I was stick-a-fork-in-me done. Speaking of marketing, I need to get a newsletter out and do some FB/X posts because all my books are 1/2 price at Smashwords for their Summer/Winter July sale. I was sick during the winter version so no marketing and no sales.
It's raining here. Yay. We need it! A cloudy, wet day in July is a joy. That and coffee. And a good audio book. But...to work! It ain't gonna get done if I don't do it.
Up and on!
