Spent most of the day in "waiting mode". Which makes it very hard to actually do something productive.
I did get groceries and some dye for tie-dying shirts (which I also ordered). Planning to make some nice tank-tops for summer that are not plain white.
Didn't write. Did edit, at least. And played Valheim. Getting a little frustrated with it - Mountains is boring atm. Need to find caverns.
Btw, my friends, "A Wolf's Fury" is still on sale on Amazon COM.
(Yes, I'll get full royalties, even if you buy at a reduced price. It's an Amazon thing.)
Grab it now, even if you only want to read the series later. Price will go up eventually - and I don't know when. Amazon does not tell authors these things.
#WritersCoffeeClub 5.7 — What do you do first when you start a new writing project?
I... err... write.
That's usually what I do. The world tends to grow as I write, the characters begin to show themselves, and eventually, the full plot is revealed.
I don't plan.
I know a few things (for the Wolves, I started with the three McMullen siblings), but with Connor? I just knew he took over bodyguard jobs, as told in Book 3.
600 words for Sun this morning - a random conversation with some foreshadowing. Fun to write.
Survived the office, grabbed groceries, felt quite shaky on my way home but made it. All good now.
Played a LOT of Valheim. Twink is expanding an old tower into a base for Mountain exploring. She also grabbed her first dragon egg. Annoying things can't be 'ported.
Early bedtime tonight because I'm wiped (didn't get a nap this afternoon).
Very good day.
Wrote 500 words for Sun this morning, survived the office, and met with my mastermind buddy to set up our very own BookFunnel Promos. (Will post about that more in the next few days, looking for authors.)
And then I played Valheim, and my Twink killed Bonemass easily. A joke, really, with frost arrows and shooting from a tower. Very anticlimactic.
#WordWeavers 5.5 — Do you have fans / people who enjoy your writing? What’s your relationship to them?
I believe I have a handful of fans. I love them. Seriously, love them.
I try to give them some goodies in every newsletter, deals on my books.
Without fans, there is no chance of selling any decent number of books. These days, recommendations are more important than ever, since search algos are getting much less reliable.
