Writer's Update--too busy, too distracted
Oops--I guess my title kind of gave away the plot!
I missed my Monday post due to a) not having time to make one, and b) not having a book ready to review. The reason for that is good, though: I have had visits from my kids the last two weekends, which put me behind on all my work but is totally worth it. Revisions on the book are proceeding, just as slowly and painfully as usual.
Meanwhile, in other news, as many of you will have noticed, Draft2Digital has just put a new burden on those of us with lousy sales. I am sad to find that it will now cost me $12 per year to keep my books on all those web sites. I get it--they run on royalties, same as we do, and my books aren't earning them enough royalties, but it's hard on us little people. I'd love to fix my low earnings, but alas, I have no magic solution, and even less ability to fix last year's sales. (I also notice they don't say that the fee will disappear if I make more than $100 in 2026). Since the fee won't put me in the red, I'll keep my books out there, and live with it.
In more positive news: I've got two significant author events this week. Today I'm at the studios of Bremerton-Kitsap Access TV, being interviewed (ulp!). I'll let you all know when it airs, though I'm not sure even I can actually see their shows!
And on Friday, I'll be selling books at the Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon, WA. I'll be at the AEN booth, #s 69 & 70 between Myrtle and Gates streets. If you are planning to visit the festival, do stop by and say hi! If you aren't, cross your fingers that the forecast is correct and it won't be raining!
That's all the news that's fit to print!
