Yeah, yeah... I woke up late. And yes, I've said before that I need to write these things ahead of time and get them scheduled, but we both know I'm not going to do that, so here we are.
Anyway, it was a week. No writing, no editing. I did think about writing, so that's a step in the right direction, but no actual words on paper yet.
Last week's marketing effort was sorta blasé. Thus, I only moved 28 copies of UNEQUAL. Starting tomorrow, Dying Embers is on the freebie rotation. I'll try to do better marketing that and see if I can't generate some interest. Something's working because I am seeing a smattering of sales for books marketed previously. Nothing spectacular, but better than nothing, and I appreciate every page read. (Reviews would be nice, too, but beggars can't exactly be picky.)
Oh, yeah, I started working on a cover for the new book. It's not horrible. I don't hate it. Then again, I don't love it either, so I have more work to do. Personally, I think it turned out too bright and soft, like a chick lit cover instead of a gritty crime novel. I really need to set everything up again and take another round of pics while it's still super-gloomy outside. It might be the lightbulb. I think it's a soft-white instead of a bright white. :scuttles off to change bulbs:
Anyhoo... I did read a bunch last week. I finished 3 books and made it halfway through another book. I should finish that one today. Right now, though, I've only finished 8 books this year, which leaves me 10 books behind schedule. :shrug: I'll either make that up or I won't.
No baking this week. It's not like my Ever-Widening Ass™ needs baked goods.
Speaking of the EWA™, my activity level sucked this week. I only got in a couple days where I did anything other than sit on said body part. One day I did some woods work and the other day I went for a walk. :throws confetti: Weight: 174.8
One reason my activity sucked was the weather. We've had some torrential rain crap move through in waves. I think we've gotten about 6-7 inches of rain over the last 3 days. And today we're supposed to get SNOW. How is that even possible??? Stupid weather. I moved all my baby trees inside for the duration. Here's hoping Wrenegade leaves them alone.
Yes, we still have that silly bird in the garage. Although, maybe not so silly considering the rain and the cold. He's a helluva lot better off than his free range counterparts right now.
Okay, I think that's it for me today. I need more coffee and another cigarette. Have a great day wherever you are. :hugs:
You had lots of sploosh so good time for reading. Part of the no editing is my fault. Yes. Feeling guilty. I'm beyond "my bad" to "me terrible." Glad you're getting some sales to go with the page reads. Yippee. Good luck with the new pics.
ReplyDeleteI've been a slug. That pretty much sums up my week and weekend. I resolve to do better. Cheers to a better week for one and all!
