Weekend Update Is Weekending
Jul. 10th, 2016 12:44 pmNot too much to report here, as I've chosen to utilize this past weekend as a way to coast and relax a bit. Day Jobbery wasn't exactly stressful or overburdening, it was just constant all four days, so the shortened week felt so much longer.
Both Saturday and today was sleeping in a bit--it was waking up at the normal 6am time out of habit, and rolling over and going back to sleep for a few more hours. Felt so much better waking up around 8:30ish these last few days! If only I could do that on a normal basis, heh.
Much mall and grocery shopping yesterday, heading down to the mall in San Bruno. Broke down and bought a few pairs of shoes -- sneakers for everyday wear, and a funky pair of Docs that I'm sure will get some heavy wear in a few weeks during Outside Lands. I also may have bought all the Independence Day tie-in novels, just for the hell of it, because I find that universe a lot of fun. [I saw the sequel last weekend, and I don't care what the critics say, I really enjoyed it!]
Other Boring Personal News: the car has finally been washed! Took it to one of the gas stations up the street and had them give it a good once-over. It was all dusty and dirty from the months-long reno being done at our apartment, with only a cursory hose-down being done every now and again when the guys finished for the day. It looks SO much better now.
Writing Projects have been consistent. I'm about back to where I stopped the last time in editing Book 3, so everything will be new editing from here on in. Printing it out and editing longhand is working quite nicely on multiple levels, so I'm happy about that. Putting a sticky-note in the back of my memory to remind myself to do that on future projects as well. :)
Oh--speaking of which, Smashwords is having a month-long promotion and I chose to make Book 2 available for free alongside Book 1. The first week worked out pretty well...I think I got two or three sales a day! I just need to get the word out there again to remind everyone who hasn't grabbed it already!
But yeah...that's pretty much all I have. I've been keeping it simple lately, focusing mostly on the Book 3 Edit and Book 1 & 2 Sale. Hopefully sometime in the next day or so I'll get some formatting done for the physical copy of Book 2 and upload it. I'd like to get a galley copy for our trip, if I can get it prepped before then.
I figure next weekend if we don't have anything planned, I'll make a trip down to the Fort Mason/Marina side of town so I can donate books to the SF Library store and clothes and whatnot to Goodwill. [There's a Goodwill in our neighborhood on Clement, but it's nigh on impossible to park to drop things off. The one in the Marina is on a side street where double-parking is a little easier to pull off.] The Goodwill there also takes old electronics, so I may drop off our pile of old computers as well.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
