It's like 7:30 and I'm just now getting around to posting because it's NOT actually 7:30 to all the little grey cells and other parts of my being. Damn time change.
Anyway, I've been motoring along on Edit Notes - Round 4. (Which I just now realized I've also listed as round 3 and round 5, depending on the day and how tired I was when I backed up the files. But I actually think it's round 4. :shrug:) As of last night, I passed the 50% mark in notes. Yeah, I thought this would go quicker, but it's not. I keep finding stuff I missed and finding places where I said something early that I didn't explain later. Derp. Anyway, I've made progress, which is always good. It'll be published when it's published. Oh, and I think I have the title... Duke Noble P.I.: Secrets & Lies - how does that grab ya? It grabs me better than any of the dozen or so titles I've played with, so there's that.
I did my usual week of marketing. Okay, so I didn't do as much marketing as I should've. I still moved 306 copies of Wish in One Hand this week. Time will tell if that equates into sales later. The freebie I had for DE last month has gained me some sales this month, so I'll keep doing it. To that end, I'll be starting another freebie tomorrow. I think one of the Ugly books. We'll see. Update: CINDER UGLY will be free starting tomorrow and going through Friday night.
I actually started reading a book this past week. It's my new-to-me old copy of a Sax Rohmer novel. I meant to do a Reading Wrap-up yesterday, but I forgot. Maybe this coming Saturday, I'll remember.
In baking news, I made another batch of cinnamon rolls. I think I nailed the inner goo. (Embrace your inner goo.) I also did beef stew one day and chili another. Yummers.
On the activity front, I spent about 4 hours over three days digging up the south garden. Another hour should see that bit finished. Also, we spent about 45 minutes walking around in the woods. And I did a massive grocery trip. Unfortunately, despite the actual activity, I gained 2 pounds somewhere along the way. Weight: 175.2 - damn cinnamon rolls. LOL
Gardening... Well, I've dug up the whole south garden bed to a depth of about 12-18 inches, thrown all the weeds out, and shifted all the irises. Somehow, I ended up with a pile of dirt in the middle, so I'll be moving all the irises out of the east side, spreading the dirt around, and replacing the irises today. (I've already done this with the west side.) I'll be using the middle of the bed for my new gladiolas and my old lilies. Once I get this done, I really need to start potting the tree seeds I started last fall. I've also found two volunteer cedars that need to be potted or pulled. They can't be allowed to continue growing where they are. One of them is under the deck, for petesakes. Oh, and I need to start cleaning out all the other beds. One thing at a time, eh?
In other news, Woodstock, the wren, is still in the garage. Despite our best half-assed efforts, he will not be moved from his new home. :shrug: He's in there singing right now. The cats are fine. Hubs is fine. I'm fine.
How are things in your world?
I woke up at my usual time. You know, the whole body clock thing. Walked into the kitchen and freaked a little. Okay. I freaked a lot. The clock on the microwave said it was after 7. But it was dark. And Jake wanted out. Jake always wants out at 6. And Pet wants breakfast at 6 and there Pete was watching my freak out and wondering why. I HATE DST!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay. I also took a nap today. That's my reaction to depression. And yes, DST triggers depression in me. Yippee.
In other news, the new book has a setting. Still researching. More in my blog tomorrow. Which is why I'm late replying because...nap...and I came in to do my blog and got distracted. So there ya go.
Yay for cinnamon rolls, edits, and walking in the woods. Yay for garden refreshes. Pretty flowers to come. Woodstock is one smart bird. He knows Spring hasn't quite sprung yet. And remember, muscles weighs more than fat.
OK. Gotta do my blog for tomorrow. Later, tater!
