400 words today.
I woke up at 5:30 this morning to do a YouTube shoot. I kept missing my chances earlier in the week. Everything went great…until the camera didn’t record sound. And the worst part is that I triple-checked the sound and did a test video. The camera decided to take a vacation…
I think my sound jack on my DSLR is dying. That’s the only explanation.
Anyway, that DESTROYED my morning because by 8AM, I had spent a lot of energy with nothing to show for it. That happens sometimes, usually before vacation.
After work, I had to re-shoot the videos using my phone, which wasn’t ideal, but hey, consistency.
My editor sent back Project Author Income so I got that formatted in Vellum and off to my designer. It’s a short and easy book to format. Designer will be done on Friday. So that’ll be 3 books published this week most likely if I can manage it.
Cleaned up around the house so everything is as clean as possible before hitting the road tomorrow. Studio is clean, kitchen is clean, laundry is all done, lawn is mowed, etc.
I had to pack as well, which always makes me nervous that I’m going to forget something. I think I have everything but we’ll see.
I also shot some videos for a vlog I'm doing about the journey and challenge. I'm basically taking you guys on the road with me as I continue beast mode.
I'm ridiculously tired, but I even managed a writing session. I did my weekly chapters for Indie Author Confidential Vol. 3. I also started reviewing my outline that I've written so far for Cold Hard Magic.
Tomorrow is game day, folks. All the pieces are in place. Now it's time to execute.
I only have three goals:
- Stay at inbox zero FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP.
- Write 5,000 words toward Book 2 of my Good Necromancer series.
- No lapse in content while I am away.
The fun begins…
