Whoa, this year is going fast. It's hard to believe I've been post-employed for over 6 months now. Woot.
Okay, so this past week... Well, the beginning of the week started okay pretty okay. I did stuff. Then the end of the week, I felt like crap and didn't do much of anything. Still, you came here for an update and here it is:
No writing, but I did get 16 pages edited and I'm through 6 pages of edit notes now. Yeah, none of that sounds like a lot, but it is. I'm going to try to boost those numbers this week. We'll see.
I did marketing every morning of the work-week. This moved 146 copies of Early Grave. No residual stuff yet, but I have hope. I think I'll take this coming week off of marketing and see what happens. Probably nothing. :shrug: I can handle nothing, I guess. I've handled it a lot over a long stretch of the past ten years. ;o)
I read some stuff. You can go to yesterday's post to see that. Except the ebook I started reading is a suspense with few reviews and I'm enjoying it. Is it perfect? Nope. Still enjoying it, though. Yay. I should be able to leave a good review for this and help a fellow writer out.
Last week, I made Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies, pizza, and a big vat of chili. Yummers. I picked up the stuff to make French bread pizza instead of regular pizza, so that's what we're having today.
On the activity front, like I said, I did stuff early in the week. In fact, I did three days in a row throwing logs around in the woods... maybe that's why I got to feeling pooky... ya think? Anyway, I feel better in general when I'm active, so I'm going to get back at it soon. Weight: 175.0
What else... let's see... I'm back to being 'active' on Twitter... X... whatever. I'm still weeding my feed, following new stuff, unfollowing crap stuff. Posting interesting things when I can. It probably won't be the most exiting place to follow, but follow me anyway. @BE_Sanderson
Okay, I think that's it. There may be other stuff, but it's lost to me right now. Tra la la. Have a great day and a great week, wherever you are. Hasta la bye-bye.
Speaking of X, I considered doing an account on Bluesky because so many are headed there. Then I realized that it's pretty much an echo chamber of all the stuff that drove me away from X before Elon took over. I have weeded out some who've drunk the cool-aide so deeply that they'll never come back. No great loss. If they knew my political bent, they'd block me anyway. 🤷🏼♀️ It is REALLY hard not to get snarky about those political things but so far, I'm biting my tongue. My reach is pretty short right now but I'll try to boost you whenever I catch your posts. As you do mine. Thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like I didn't do much last week but I did. Sorta. MIDNIGHT CLEAR is up for preorder on D2D. Goes live on December 9th. I got MOONSTRUCK: RETRIBUTION set up in Scrivener and I've written a transition scene. Sadly, I can only read so much before I have to take a break. Still, progress and hopefully out around year end.
I'm slowly putting pounds back on. While I was too thin before, not sure I really want to put much more on. Sadly, lots of bad habits reformed when I was desperate to get out of the Skeletor stage.
You saw my reading update yesterday over here at your place. The only other item of note is the theiving trash panda bandit. Dang coon stole one of the stainless steel bowls I use to feed the cats with. I have not recovered it yet though I have searched the "jungle" (naturalized area of front/side yard) to no avail. And yes, I have the culprit on video!
Okay. Time to move along. Only is coming over today and we're going to sew. She'll have to thread the machine for me and then I'll sew the straight lines needed for her project. LOL (She swears she can't sew a straight line.) She also wants pockets. We're making a ribbon skirt which is traditional tribal dress. No pattern, just a video. I need more coffee!
Have a great week and feel less pooky ASAP! Also, yay for all the downloads and may there be many pages read and actual sales in the series! 🤞🏼
