Good Morning. I think. The jury's still out.
I'm deep in editing right now. Not any of my books, though. I'm working on doing proofing for a friend. I should finish today and then get my notes over to her. Then I'll get back to my own stuff.
I did a lot of marketing this week. WISH HITS THE FAN was free. I moved 124 copies of that and sold a WISH IN ONE HAND in Australia. It's not much, but it's better than a sharp stick in the butt. I hope to see some residual sales and page reads in the coming weeks. Like I did a free thing for BOAI last month and yesterday I saw where someone had read the whole thing in KU. It's the long game here, people. I've also earned double this year over last year. Again, not a lot of money, but something is better than nothing.
I'm still not reading, unless you count that friend's book.
The only thing I made this week of any note was battered tilapia fillets. I'm all out of baked goods, so I need to rectify that soon.
On the activity front, I walked twice for 1.65 miles and I worked in the woods two days for an hour each day. Mileage: 52.90. I haven't weighed myself. Unfortunately, all physical activity will be on hold for a bit. Here's the dealie-bob: I was working in the woods and fell on my ass. What happened was I was carrying a load of sticks from one pile to another, a longish stick fell out of the pile, hit the ground and stabbed me in the leg, so I twisted to get away from the ouchie stick. In doing that, my foot got hung up and my knee started to hyper-extend, so I jigged away from that and went down like a sack of dirt. I did land on my ass instead of my face, so that's a win. In the bizarre gymnastics of it all, though, I wrenched my knee pretty damn good. It's not swollen or anything, but I probably shouldn't go hiking around with it. Derp. Hey, I usually fall at least once a year, and I haven't fallen in a couple years, so I should've seen this coming. :shrug:
Right now, I look like I've undergone some type of weird abuse. I have grease burns on my hand from the tilapia (flipped the fish and the oil splashed). I have a bruise on my left leg from Friday when a tree limb snapped and came whipping back at me, whacking me just below the knee. I have another bruise on that leg from the stabby stick and my right leg is both bruised and missing a layer of skin off the knee. (I find this all amusing, so no worries.)
And that's about it. I think I'm going to hit the coffee pot, have a smoke, and then go back to my recliner where I can put my leg up and get back to reading/editing. Have a great day, everyone.
