In case you missed it, I have a new book (Cinder Ugly) up for pre-order right now and a sale going on (Once Upon a Djinn).
Amazon, in its infinite wisdom, isn't showing pre-orders. It's been a long time since I did a pre-order, but I'm pretty sure they used to show how many pre-orders I had. I should have at least one (cuz I pre-ordered it).
Amazon has also not grouped my A Model Curse books into a series yet. I have a request in to them. We'll see if it gets done before CU goes live. (They used to do this automatically. At least, they've done it for my other series. :shrug:)
I'm not sure if it's the 'rona or Halloween or the approaching election, but twice this week I've had people screw up the attachment thing on emails I need. Once, there was no attachment. The other time, the attachment was wrong. From totally different people. Blerg.
Sometimes I have to remind myself 'you can't know what you don't know' and not feel stupid about things people point out that I didn't know. (I don't think they meant to make me feel stupid.) I mean, maybe I should've known. But I didn't know such a thing even existed, so how could I have known that I didn't know? Ya know?
I've been feeling kinda low these past couple days. No big deal. I only mention it because I woke up this morning with 'High Hopes' stuck in my head. A positive song out of nowhere. Part of me is all like 'yay'. Part of me wants to punch myself in the brain. It's like facing a cheerful person before you've had enough coffee to deal with all that cheer.
It's raining raining raining here. The lake's gone up a foot in the past day or so. Not a problem since the lake was a 'normal level' which means it can go up another 15 feet without causing a major problem. Still, all this rain is making my yard look like a waterfall and it's really mushy out there. It's also harshing my ability to take walks.
I saw the cutest kitten posted on one of the rescue sites I follow and I wanted it in the worst way. It was killer cute. Death by cuteness cute. This is not the time to be taking on a new pet - especially a kitten or a puppy. I don't have the time or the energy or the patience for a baby animal right now. And then there's Kira. The old lady doesn't need that kind of irritation. She's gotta be... what... 86 or so in cat years? She takes up a lot of time and energy and patience all on her own. Throw a new pet into that? Nope.
And that's enough out of me. What's up with you?
