Having a non-writing sort of relaxing day as we head into Thanksgiving festivities. This is the two-year anniversary of my first date with Becka, my fiancee. She and I are doing a lot of domestic stuff today and just relaxing. Listening to podcasts as we cook some Turkeyday stuff in advance. I cleaned and put new water in the hot tub. Gonna organize some garage stuff later. That kind of day, and we’ll take my son Mike out to our usual Tuesday trivia bar trivia place.
I had hoped to get the e-commerce working on my website by Black Friday. Not that I expect to make any sales or anything — I’ve barely begun advertising and seeking publicity yet. I haven’t sent out my ARCs yet, because the books won’t show up until tomorrow at the earliest. It was just a reasonable goal.
I might still meet that self-imposed deadline, but probably not. There are so many little things I need to take care of, and lately — I’m just feeling “webbed out.” I need a break from all this internet/marketing/production stuff. To relax, enjoy my family, take care of some other life essentials and chores. And God forbid, actually write something other than a blog post. I haven’t touched my current work-in-progress in about a month. It’s not writer’s block (I don’t believe in that). I’m just busy.
Anyway, just checking in with the handful of people who read this. Hopefully that’ll be a couple hundred handfuls in three or months. We’ll see.
