The numbers recede! But we still have a ways to go, so tell your friends to buy my books! They’re good, if that helps.

Sixty dollars to go to $500/year!
The first day of the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 99 cent Christmas sale went well. Well enough to adjust the thermostat:
Not gonna lie: sixty more bucks in ten days is gonna be a heavy lift. But who knows? People might get Amazon gift cards for Christmas*. Every little bit helps.
*Me, I want book reviews. Get them for all the authors in your life!

Spending the afternoon learning about Amazon ads.
Amazon has this entire set of courses, and everything. I possibly should have done it before actually trying to buy ads on Amazon earlier, because I’ve already realized one thing that I did wrong. Fortunately, it was the kind of mistake that, when you make it, you don’t actually spend any money…

Apparently today is Intellectual Property Rights Day here at MoeLane.com…
…because this apparently just went down.
The “This Doesn’t Look Half-Bad” THE PERIPHERAL Amazon Teaser Trailer.
I do like me some William Gibson, to be sure.
God knows if I’ll actually watch it, though. I never seem to have enough time to watch more than one or two shows, and even then I have to budget it. I suppose that’s good?
Tomorrow is Prime Day. :drily: Woo-hoo.
Far be it from me to stop people from clicking this Amazon link and giving me some of that sweet, sweet affiliate cash, but: I’ve never been really wowed with the stuff Amazon offers for Prime Day. It’s not awful, but it’s not really spectacular, either. It feels like something an algorithm came up with – and not even corporate is all that impressed with the results.
I guess I just don’t know why they bother.

This doesn’t actually look too bad. NIGHT SKY‘s giving me a little bit of the old late Seventies / early Eighties paranoid government conspiracy vibe; which is a positive thing, in this context. I watched a whole lot of those flicks, back when I was using DAMNATION DECADE to inform what movies to watch. Solid cast, too. Always nice to see an older actress get a good role.

There’s *money* in Kindle Vella, folks.
At least for the next few months, if I’m reading the FAQ correctly. For right now creators are being compensated for people using their free tokens to read Kindle Vella stories (like, say, THE STARS ARE WRONG); and the payout is… rather higher than I was expecting. Enough that I’m going through my Patreon short stories to find ones that I haven’t otherwise made available for free, or put in a chapbook.
If you’re an author and have any kind of audience, I suggest you consider doing the same. At least until July 2022.
Want to help out the content creators in your life?
Welp, those of us who are Amazon associates (hi!) always appreciate it when you use one of our links to go buy stuff. It helps. It really does — and since I use that revenue to pay for publishing services, it helps you, too.
Also: you know what makes for a great Christmas gift? My books! (I almost wrote ‘me,’ but I didn’t want to make it weird.)
