Yesterday my ad was accepted by Ereader News Today. And I was squeeing like I'd won the lottery. I even posted to FB with a snoopy sticker of him doing a happy dance, I was so excited. Suddenly everything was brighter and the world had a happier outlook. Over one ad.
And I told Hubs later that it was silly to be so inordinately happy over one stupid $40 ad. But I was.
I mean, let's put this into perspective a little.
Getting an ad with any of the big venues is incredibly difficult. I had an ad with ENT back in May of 2015. It was the best sales month I have had since I started this 3 years ago. Hell, 2015 was the best sales year I've had. I got another ad with them a couple months later and that did almost as well. Then I couldn't get an ad with them to save my ass. At one point, I gave up. Why keep submitting ads with them only to get shot down every time?
And then I got over it and began trying again. I requested an ad earlier this year. Oh, they shot that down, too, but I tried again. This time it worked.
Which, like I said, suddenly made everything better. I suddenly became like a bipolar, swinging on the happy side. I was laughing and smiling and filled with the hope of better things to come. Hell, even dinner turned out awesome - with the salmon cooked to perfection and the sweet potato chips full of salty-sweet goodness.
Kind of sick when you think about it. One $40 ad. They're like freakin' drugs, those ads. Once you get the high of an awesome sales day, you're forever chasing it. And it gets really depressing when you can't have it. Yep, when they reject your ad, it's like they're denying you the drug and you're totally jones'n.
So, I'll be running an ad with ENT on May 24th. Wish in One Hand will be on sale for 99c/.99p from the 22nd thru the 29th. I'll probably put some more ads out for that, too. Smaller ads with like Author Billboard and PUFB. We'll see what happens. The hopes are that people will snag WIOH and then get the other genie books, too. :fingers crossed:
For now, though, I'm trying to ride the high of getting the ad and I'll worry about whether it pays for itself later this month.

Sunday Update - Week 19 (I Think)
May, glorious May, wonderful May...
Okay, so you may have seen where I finished reading through Sleeping Ugly and was stuck at a crossroads as to what to do now. I'm still working on the plan, but what will probably happen is I will send Sleeping Ugly off to the editor on June 1st and then write like a madwoman for the month of June on the next book, tentatively called either Ugly and the Beast or Cinder Ugly, so that I can have it ready to send to the editor in August when she finishes the edits for SU.
As you can see, I did some brainstorming this week and that's what I came up with. I still have no idea what the next book will be about, but I did write the first paragraph in my handy dandy notebook. So I got that going for me.
I finished the read-through, note-taking thing for SU and started to input edits. If I keep my head down and work, I can do this.
Other than that, I did some reading. I finished a book I can't review yet, so I'm not going to talk about that until next week (after it releases). I also read a book I picked up on a whim that was loads of fun and a checkmark in my 'new-to-me, underappreciated author' goal. Yesterday, I started a John D. MacDonald crime novel. It's really good so far.
And I did a boatload of weeding and gardening this week. Well, it was kind of more prep than actual gardening. I pulled my dead/dying azaleas and then dug up those two beds in anticipation of the arrival of my new hydrangeas. Let me tell ya, there were a lot of rocks in those beds. I don't remember there being that many rocks when I transplanted the azaleas there five years ago. I pulled all the big rocks out and left them in a pile because I have a plan for them. Which I'm supposed to start today but I'm so darned sore I may put that off 'til tomorrow.
I also went fishing once. Caught about a half dozen little bluegills. It was fun, but it don't put fish in the freezer. Ya know?
Other work was light last week. Only one spreadsheet and some computer support stuff. Which is why I had so much time for gardening.
Thanks to the gardening and its general workout, I lost another half a pound. And I got active 6/7 days last week.
Oh, and Happy Mothers' Day to all them what has kids. I don't expect anything celebratory will happen today. The Kid might call. I'll call my mom. Hubs will call his mom.
This coming week holds both my birthday and our anniversary. Hubs wanted to bake me a birthday cake, but I told him not to. I've been doing so well on my 'get healthier' thing, I don't want a cake to ruin it. Which it would. I'll probably make an applesauce-walnut coffee cake instead, which is chock full of health and goodness. If the heat lets up enough to make me want to turn on the oven, that is.
Ugh, what is it with the early heatwave crap this year? We went from having the furnace on to having the AC on. So much for the two weeks of low electric bills we usually get this time of year. Bleh.
Okay, I think that's it for me. What've you been up to?

Thursday This n That
This this n that is all about my whole getting healthier thing. Consider yourself warned.
I can make it through the Walmart without weeping over pizza and fried chicken now.
KFC sent us a coupon book. Dirty bastards. Hubs kept it on the table for a few days and then finally chucked it so we wouldn't be tempted anymore. All I can say is thank goodness the KFC is 30 minutes away or I would've fallen for their rotten trick.
When I first started doing the exercise thing, I could easily get to my target heart rate. Now, I exercise for a half a freakin hour and my heart's all like 'bring it'. Too bad my legs can't push as hard as that. Half an hour and my legs are whimpering.
My exercise thing is dance/exercise/dance. I started out with 5 minutes of each. Now I'm up to about 10 minutes each. And about 20 reps on the exercises I'm doing, plus I added some exercises I wasn't doing at first because I couldn't do them. I use 2 lb weights on the arms and no weight on the legs, because frankly, the legs carry enough weight on their own. Da dump bump.
As for the diet thing - diet as in what I eat, not a set of guidelines I am forcing myself to strictly stick to - it's going well. Like I said, I hardly miss the really yummy foods now. Still eating ice cream, though. And the occasional Hot Pocket or mini-pizza. Hubs has cut those out entirely. I'm not that strong. But we are eating loads of fruits and salads. Rivers of fish. Chicken. 93% lean burger and lean cut steak. And smaller portions. I'm down about 2 pounds since I bought the new scale and sent myself into a conniption. (For the record, the 189 I said I was before was actually 197 because my old scale was off by 8 pounds. So, from whenever that was, I'm down 5 pounds. Let's not even talk about the dark days when the old scale said 195. :shudder:)
Anyway, this is my journey. Not sure if any of the same tactics would work for any of you, but you're welcome to try. Increase activity, decrease unhealthy foods. Sounds easy, and it does get easier after a while, but it takes time and commitment. :shrug: It's lasted a few months now, so maybe this'll stick. Lord knows nothing else has.

Data Collection... Or Lack Thereof
First off, let me warn you ahead of time. I didn't sleep well, I woke up too damn early, and I haven't had nearly enough coffee to be a courteous human being. If you're down with that, please proceed.
I keep seeing and hearing about Europe's new data collection (supposed protection) law. I'm unmotivated to do a goddamn thing about it. It's Europe for petesakes. They're on the rapid slide to a police state. I'm here in the US, I never plan on visiting the EU, and I don't do police states, so they can kinda kiss my lily white cheeks, if you catch my drift.
However, since Blogger and the rest of the collective care and I use their services, I guess I should probably give a great goddamn about it. I'll be researching it later when my brain is more fully engaged to see if and how this effects me.
But here's my less-than-informed answer to it all. I don't collect data on my blog visitors or my newsletter subscribers. Blogger collects data, which I rarely bother to look at. And my newsletter service collects data, which I also don't bother to look at. Sometimes I might see a jump in visitors to the blog and wonder why and then go to Stats and see where all the hits are coming from. It's usually Eastern Europe. Not sure what they're looking at over there and I don't really care other than in a purely curious way. Like 'hey cool, someone from Lithuania has read my blog'.
My general blog visits average around 35 people a post. Sometimes it jumps to over a hundred. Woohoo. I'm burning up the internet there. I have about a dozen newsletter subscribers who haven't seen a newsletter from me since sometime last year. (Sorry about that, guys, but newsletters are a pain in the butt and since almost all of you stop here, too, I'm just repeating myself there.)
So, let's say I don't jump through all of the EU's hoops to adhere to their silly law. What's the worst that could happen? They find me guilty of something over there and request extradition from the US so they can punish me for doing something I don't actually do? I'm almost at a point in my life where I'm ready to say "Bring it". So much has gone wonky and stupid in this world, I'm about ready to take my chances. I think if it weren't for the fact that I'm married and my actions might bring about ramifications for my husband, I'd tell them all to take their GDPR or whatever it's called and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Ahem...
Anyway, right about now - since the law takes effect on the 25th - you'll be seeing people asking for you to resubscribe to their newsletters so they can make absolutely certain they're adhering to the law. I'm ignoring those, too. I don't actually read 90% of the newsletters I'm signed up for, so I probably won't notice if they stop arriving. If you've signed up for a newsletter and you get it and you decide you don't want to get it, you can always unsubscribe. It's not that hard. If you stop at a blog, this or any other, and you're worried about having your data collected, don't visit there anymore.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I know your data isn't being collected by me for any purpose. And if Blogger is worried about it, they can certainly stop collecting data on my behalf. No skin off my ass.
And as I said before, I haven't researched this and I'm grumpy, so if I've said anything above that is incorrect or whatever, deal with it. I'm off to find more coffee before my head implodes.

Sunday Update - Week ???
I'm not sure what week it is and I'm too lazy to go look. It was a week, the first one of May. So there. =op
I made a little more progress on Sleeping Ugly, but not much. As I've said before, it will get done by the deadline, but I'm guessing RIGHT before the deadline.
Once again, I'm in a reading slump. It's not that I have nothing to read or that none of it would interest me. I even have a pre-release of the 18th book in a series I've been following for years. I'm just in a spot where reading itself isn't blowing my skirt up. Or like the gal at the feed store said, "I'd read more, but it's too lovely outside." Maybe that's it. Maybe it's that I have too much to do outside to be inside reading. :shrug: This, too, shall pass.
And I'm still not fishing.
What exactly am I doing? Hell if I know. I did a bunch of gardening stuff. I've been exercising. There's been some spreadsheet stuff. Shopping. Cleaning. I did the windows last week. And some dusting.
Oh, yeah, and last week was the well thing. The well pump went kerplooey. But they got it fixed quick so we were only without water for 24 hours. Of course, then the well had to be chlorinated, so we had a few more days on bottled water until the bleach was washed out of the system. But it's all good now.
Spring is in full swing here. The trees are no longer naked. The flowers are blooming or getting ready to bloom. Hubs has already mowed the yard twice and done the first bug-spraying of the year. The birds are stopping by on their migratory route. The bucks' antlers are growing and so are the does' bellies. Life is good.
How are things where you are?

Thursday This n That
It's May! My favorite month of the year. The month of emeralds and Lily of the Valley. My birth month. The month when Spring is at its best. (Well, except for the storms. I can do without those.)
Speaking of storms, last night's missed us entirely. We didn't even get the wind they were predicting. Now let's see if the storms due later this morning will be a hit or miss.
Yesterday, we had a female cardinal go mental on us. She kept flying up and hitting this one window in the sun room. Flap, flap, thump. Flap, flap, flap, land in the tree. Over and over. Then she'd take a break and sing. Who knew female cardinals sing? :shrug: She was still doing it as the sun set. I hope she doesn't come back this morning. It's disconcerting watching her thunk into the windows. I did try scaring her off. As soon as I left the room, she came back. Oh, gads, I just heard her. =oO
The batteries arrived for my camera! I am back in business, baby. So I walked around and took pictures of the flowers in the yard. Here's the iris bed:
I told ya they were going crazy this year. Here's another bed:
The irises by the rock up near the road aren't blooming yet, but I'll get pics of those, too. I'm hoping some of the blue irises bloom this year.
In that last pic, you can see my pathetic azaleas. They're mostly dead. =o(
When I got the new battery in my camera, I discovered I had pictures from December and January on it. Here's Half-Rack the Deer from December.
Poor dude went along with only one side of his antler rack way before the other bucks started dropping antlers.
Did I mention how much I missed my camera? I'm so happy it was just a battery problem. It's 8 years old, so I'm seriously surprised the battery lasted that long and that nothing else went kerplooey. I got it and a new computer for my 40th birthday. The computer went wonky first. Nikon makes an awesome camera. Unfortunately, they discontinued this model. I went looking for a replacement camera, just in case it wasn't the battery and I can't find an exact replacement anymore. :sad: Thank goodness I don't need to replace it!
I think that's enough rambling from me this morning. You got anything to ramble about?

Stuffs
Since I can't seem to hold a cogent thought for long this morning, here's some random stuffs...
Whoever's beating me with a stick in my sleep needs to stop. (Not seriously. No one is beating me with a stick. It's just feels like someone has beaten me with a stick when I wake up.)
My camera battery died. It actually, eventually, said 'Battery is Exhausted'. Well, ain't we all? (The new batteries will be here tomorrow, so no worries.)
Something is wrong with the neighborhood well. It went out yesterday afternoon. El Presidente of the Water Association is on it and the well people will be here this morning, but right now, it's a pain in the buns. Luckily, we're prepared people and have jugs of water stored for just such an emergency. Bottled water for drinking and coffee, etc. Huge amounts of water stored in old kitty litter containers for flushing toilets. Also, through luck and foresight, El Presidente has made sure there's enough in the water association fund to dig a whole new damn well if need be. Hopefully, it's just something minor. We'll make it through. And, if worse comes to worst, the park opens today and they have showers over there if you're a paying camper. So, for like $16 a day, we can wash ourselves if need be. (Hubs is El Presidente. Which is why I'm not worried. It might take a few days, but it'll be fixed.)
Had to take q-tips to my computer's fan vent. So much dust was clogging it, it was starting to make funny noises. And the only things that'll reach are cotton swabs. (You know, in case yours needs cleaning, too. Or am I the only one who still has a desktop computer these days?)
Things generally go wrong in threes, so I'm hoping the computer thing was an 'almost went wrong' and I've avoided the third thing. If not, another thing is on its way. (Yes, I am a bit superstitious, why do you ask?)
Anyway, I hope y'all have a lovely day. Keep your fingers crossed for me, k? (You know, if you're into that stuff. :wink:)
