Short post tonight as I have a speaking engagement. I am speaking to a few hundred Americans, Australians, and New Zealanders about self-publishing basics in a collaboration event between ALLi and IBPA (Independent Book Publishers Association). Last night’s event was fantastic. I’ll post a link to the replay when it’s live.

For reading and data analysis—nada.

For marketing—I wrote the event description and pitch for a speaking engagement I’m slotted for in November. I’m excited about it.

For production, I’m sitting around 1000 words today which is disappointing but that’s just how the cookie crumbled today. The good news is that my short story is now on pretty good footing and I should be able to finish it by Saturday night hopefully.

Anyhoo, have a good night.
