Well, it’s nice to see that I’m not the only creative getting my butt kicked by this pandemic (and the soon-to-hit second wave that’s already upon us). My editor is still working on the novel, hence why it didn’t release in September (not her fault at all, by the by, since it did take me an extra two months more than I expected to finish writing it!).
Still, this leaves me with some extra time, which is good because I have a test coming up this week (Richard III), and my secondary job is maintaining its breakneck pace. And, of course, probably no time off between now and the end of the holiday season unless we hit lockdown again.
I’m already dreaming up the next novel, which is dangerous (since I’m technically not done the novel I’m working at until I get it back and it goes live), but it’s still nice to think about.
Oh! And new weird business news: I’ve been occasionally hitting my daily dollar limit for advertising through Amazon. That’s unusual (for me). Now, I have a pretty low daily limit due to the strict financial constraints I have (which is a fancy way of saying “I have no money”), but up until a few months ago my ads were never shown, period. Now they’re showing up often enough that Amazon gets to charge me for them occasionally, and that feels kinda like a success. Hopefully it leads to a few more book sales, and I can funnel that back into more ads!
Anyhoo, hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
