Here we are again at another week. Let's see what happened.
I wrote. I still don't want to talk about it much. Suffice it to say, I wrote 4 nights in a row and ended up with around 2800 new words, all on one WIP, so there ya go. I'm not celebrating, in case this is an anomaly. The hardest part about writing after so many months away is retraining my fingers to type as much as I want for as long as I want. Derp.
I marketed. A little. Blink moved a whole 17 copies. Woot. Not sure what this week will bring. I'm at the end of a 90 day KDP reup, so this week might be a little iffy.
Reading still isn't a thing, but I made a little progress with Rudy.
In baking news, yesterday, Hubs made me a cake from scratch - yellow cake, chocolate frosting with a layer of strawberry jam in the middle. Yum. It's not the prettiest thing, but it's been more than 20 years since he made a cake, so I'm not harshing him too much about it. He was going to make the frosting, too, but after the cake wouldn't come out of the pan and ended up kinda roached, he left the frosting to me. Hey, it tastes good and he tried, so that's all that matters.
On the activity front, I wasn't. I did some garden stuff and I went shopping. Meh. Didn't bother weighing myself. Weight: Fat.
The trail cam has been fun. See yesterday's post. The new mower is awesome. So's the new greenhouse. Shopping for the win. Woot.
The garden is growing right along in the greenhouse. I have one little grape tomato growing and one little Early Girl tomato. The green peppers are trying to come back from getting munched, as are the black cherry and the persimmon.
Yesterday, I cut my hair. Short. It was bugging me, so off it went. It looks pretty cute, if I do say so myself. No, there aren't any pics.
Speaking of cake... Today is our anniversary. 22 years. Go, us! And tomorrow's my birthday. 56 years. Go, me! (Yes, people shouldn't leave important dates lying around the internet, but we make sure we never use those dates in any security questions or passwords, so there ya are.) We aren't doing anything for either. We don't give each other cards or gifts anymore. I think that stuff stopped about 15 years ago. We're happy with each other and celebrate each other every day, so no prezzies are necessary.
And that's it for me today. What's been up with you lately?
Words are words. I know this as well as you do. 'Nuff said.
ReplyDelete17 copies is a win--even if free. Hopefully, those will lead to sales of other books. I've sold one book on the 'Zon this month. For a grand total of 36 cents.
I hear you on the reading slump. I'm like 10 books behind on my GR goal. Oh well.
Yay for cam, mower, and greenhouse.
Yay for haircuts! I've given up and just letting mine grow. I should get Only to make new headshots for me but that means putting on makeup. At the moment, my hair is about 4" below my shoulers. Ponytail FTW!
Happy Anniversary! 22 years is all kinds of awesome! And Happy Birthday tomorrow! Hopefully, I'll remember...no guarantees but at least I got an early wish in for you!
And you just about have my summery. I'm making progress on ARIEL'S DAMN BOOK. We may or may not go to Stormy's soccer match this afternoon. LG is having a hard time. I've been watching softball. So far, so good for all the teams I'm rooting for. Today determines who moves on to Super Regionals, which will determine the 8 coming to OKC for the WCWS.
Okay. I need more coffee, a little writer's room stop, and then I need to get off the internet and get back to work. Have a great week. Later, tater.
