Happy Friday, my duckies!
Sweet, sweet freedom beckons from another crippling week of boredom. Ugh. My soul weeps, gentle reader. Tears. But I am feeling remarkably productive. I seem to be in-taking much more fuel than usual, so obviously I am at a higher operating threshold than normal. Quite exciting.
I am experimenting with self-publishing. Since I have a day job and RESPONSIBILITIES, like some sort of brutal savage, I have elected to bow to the great authority of our Amazon gods and am using Kindle Direct Publishing to put my works out into the world. It’s fairly exciting. Now, I will apologize to any dear reader that elects to purchase one of these works…I am not super great at formatting yet, but each time gets a little better. Or so I tell myself.
Anyway. Tears of the People LIVES. It lives here, specifically:
Isn’t that neat? Freelance is also up there, ready for action. Or at least it will be once Amazon finishes its review. That one was much easier to edit. It’s a very easy, pleasant experience. Though I do need to quit making these large-print books. I mean, it’s nice not to have to strain your eyes to read the damn things, but I really should use a smaller type face. Ah well. It doesn’t matter. No one will actually buy these silly things. It’s more of closure for me to just wrap them up all nicely with a bow and move onto the next one.
I have some good ideas for Iron Road and Ramanujan that I really want to try out. These old stories just keep haunting me. Maybe if I just make them real books and send them away, they will stop bothering me.
So exciting!
Yes. So, in non-OSUZ504 works read this week, I finally finished Into the Distance. WONDERFUL. It’s an existential crisis rolled up in an adventure-history. I loved it. Shocking that it didn’t win the Pulitzer. Shocking. I wish I could write like that.
Yona of the Dawn 23 arrived this week as well. I have to admit, while I enjoyed it like always, I’m glad that we’re wrapping up Yona. The story feels like it needs to end soon, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected. I’m at the place where I’m too excited for the end, so I want to skip over all the intermediate portions and just get straight to the good parts.
Should have all of the finished works published by next week and I can get back to actual writing. Ha. Got to do some real work, eventually, right? Happy Friday, gentle readers!
