I have mentioned that my novel is available for pre-order at various online bookstores, right? like Amazon, B&N, Indie Bound, Book-a-Million, and Powell's. (nothing like a little blatant self promotion to start the day, right?)
This is not my body |
Did I mention my book release is scaring me to death? I have my first writer event at the end of the month, which terrifies me. Anyone who's read my book want to tell me which section I should read aloud? I have a million postcards sitting here to go out to librarians, LA teachers, and bookstores. They mock me, sitting there on my counter waiting for me to do something about it. I haven't even finished my excel workbook of names and addresses. I need to write a teacher's guide (or hire someone to do it, hint hint, any takers?), get my guest list going for my release parties, yes I said parties, create a letter for the marketing campaign my publicist and I came up with, finish my trailer, and, and, and . . .
I think I'm going to start a new vlog series. It's too late for my idea of chronicles of a debut author. You kind of get the idea of what I've gone through anyhoo. This one will be called, Middle Aged Angst. It will be about writing, but it will also be about life as an over forty woman. So there's that. I'm going to try and begin this weekend, but don't hold me to that.
Have I mentioned the stress at my day job? Websites, SEO, Blogging, Newsletter, and Goats. That's all I'll say about that.
And did I also mention my boyfriend and I broke up?
Okay, I think I'm done ranting, raving, and rambling.
Here are the Friday Nibbles:
Random iPod shuffle song: Creep by Radiohead
Movie of the Week: I'm going to go with an Indie movie called Winning Season. It stars Sam Rockwell and Emma Roberts about an alcoholic has been basketball player and coach hired to coach a pathetic girls team. Loved it.
Book of the Week: I've pathetically not started a book in weeks, so I'm going to keep giving Amy Fellner Dominy this position until I get her book read. OyMG has been on my "reading" list on goodreads for about forever, yet I've not started it yet. Nothing to do with Amy or her book, just my business. I've heard great things about it. I think I will force myself to take the time to read.
Quote of the Week: I've got two this week.
"Been busy as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest." ~ Stephen King
"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." ~ Henry David Thoreau (pathetically I almost spelled his last name Thorough)
Goats? I'm intrigued...
ReplyDeleteOy Vey, the drama a goat can cause.
