I have to remind myself that hating your manuscript at this stage of the process is a perfectly natural thing, that many writers do. I’ve been here before. I will be, again. I just want it done…

Larry Correia discusses the travails of up and coming epic fantasy writers.
The February Patreon stuff is up!
Huzzah!
- Short Story: Verdict of History. History was deliberately unkind in its verdict, and I fret that I didn’t make it unkind enough. I rarely dislike my own protagonists to the extent that I disliked these two.
- RPGs: ARTIFACTS, Chapter 3: Artifacts. Yes, very redundant. And a bunch of synonyms for redundant, because who needs to sit through that joke?
While you’re waiting for MoeLane.com to migrate, buy one of my books!
Found here. Said migration shouldn’t take too long; but then, that’s what they said about the First World War. Something could go pear-shaped. Hopefully it won’t, but it might, so go buy two books! Just to be on the safe side.
Been working out projects for the first half of 2023 today.
I mostly concentrated on looking into whether I can put together another chapbook: it turns out, I can. Between the two Kindle Vella stories (which I can publish on KDP, after thirty days*) an older story, and something I did last fall, I have a good 60K words there. More than usual! I’m waiting to hear back from an artist before putting together a draft for revisions/edits/so forth.
As for the next novel? Yeah, I’m mucking about with that after dinner. I probably will rechapter the text tonight, then start growing literary connective tissue. I feel a lot better about this project, now. You gotta do the work.
$35 to go to $500/year on Amazon!
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.

December goal: 45 book sales!
If I manage that, I should be able to say that I’ve made an average of $500/per year from Amazon sales of my books since I started up on this. What does that mean, in the larger scheme of things? …Honestly, not that much. I’ve had a really good year generally already. But the overarching goal here is to achieve a revenue stream that will let me publish at least one novel a year on my own; and to do that, I need to hustle. This is part of the hustle.
So. Buy my books! They make awesome Christmas gifts.

PS: I also need to start up a store in 2023 that will let me sell people signed copies of my books. For that I’m gonna need to do some research, though. I don’t have the money to pay somebody to do it for me.

Ten days left to buy my books in October!
Not gonna lie: I’ve had better sales months (even when I take Fright Reads sales in account). But if you’re looking for new and exciting Christmas gifts, my books would be perfect for that. They’re also a touch underpriced (and likely to become moreso, in this economy, so you’ll do well out of doing good.

I’m feeling better. Buy my books!
You know, to celebrate.
But I’m not feeling completely better, so I’m going back to bed.
