Yesterday was a holiday, but let's face it, I can't blame Easter for my totally forgetting to post. I'm late today because I overslept because cat-antics wouldn't let me sleep and then I was up until after midnight.
Let's not talk about writing, eh? Although, I did think about writing. For some reason, a story I started years ago but never finished popped into my head late last night and wanted me to write it RIGHT THEN. But I was trying to get to a place where I could sleep, so I ignored it. I take the fact that stories are demanding to be written as a good sign, but so far, that's all it is - a sign.
The big marketing a whole series thing last week went okay. It looked better than it was because I had three books being downloaded, but per book, it wasn't great. Today, Song of Storm and Shroud is up for a 5-day freebie. (SONG OF STORM AND SHROUD - an epic fantasy for kids and adults alike - is free today through Friday. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W745M6P) Unfortunately, I woke up late and haven't really done any marketing beyond posting to my pages on FB. :shrug: I'm tired and unmotivated.
Not much reading this week. I really am a toad.
In baking news, I made applesauce bars (B-) and raisin-apple bread pudding (A-). Plus, I baked the ham for Easter (A+).
On the activity front, I took two walks for about 2 miles. I also did stuff in the deck garden - moving pots, etc. Last night, I moved a bookshelf and all its books, so that was active. (Sawyer was being turd and using it as a springboard to get onto the TV shelf.) After all the ham I ate yesterday, I'm not going to weigh myself, but when I weighed myself last Tuesday, I was at 177.4.
Ah, the garden. It's rolling right along, as you could see from my post last week. I did plant more carrot seeds to replace the ones that pooped out on me. The feed store has their tomato plants in, but I have to wait until I'm flush again before I buy those. Later this week... I hope. None of Pedro Potato's kinfolk have come up, so I'm getting ready to plant more taters. :fingers crossed:
Other than that, not much going on here. I did mention I was a toad, didn't I.
When I get on X, I'll boost STORM & SHROUD. Hopefully, people will read, enjoy, and review the Curse books. 🤞🏼
ReplyDeleteI had all sorts of plans to write last week but Real Life kept being a grinch. I'm hoping for better from both RL and myself this week.
We were basically toads over the weekend. LG got a bee in his britches over the whole MLB streaming thing. We now have the Cardinals channel but it says we aren't subscribed. Really? I've been paying an extra $50 per month for the U-verse sports package just to get those channels? For FIFETEEN (15) YEARS?!!!?? And now FanDuel, which bought those channels from Bally, which bought them from Fox is shutting down their TV arm and those channels are going dead next week. Will we get a price break for AT&T? Probably not. They give me a headache. Now we get to fight them over the cable box that doesn't work all the time, plus new universal remotes. Fun times. NOT!
Mini rant over. In other news, it is rather nice to have a smart TV in the office. I've watched college softball and baseball on Disney+/ESPN+ instead of having to shut down and go to the bedroom. Speaking of paying, we only have D+ & Hulu because the only way we could get ESPN+ was to bundle. 🤦🏼♀️
Okay. I need to hit a couple more blogs, then X, and then my 3rd cup of coffe (working on #2 at the moment) and then I am going write new words. Or else!
Here's to a good week for us all!
