For reading, I’m still making progress in IDW’s TMNT Vol. 8. For data analysis and marketing, I got Indie Author Confidential Vol. 10 into Vellum and will send it to my cover designer tomorrow. I should get it back early next week. For production, I wrote 3400 words...

Great day today. For reading, I’m continuing IDW’s TMNT Vol 8. For data analysis, I discovered MidJourney, a Discord that allows you to type in a description and get an AI-generated image, much like DALL-e. You guys know I raved about DALL-e a few months ago. I’m not...

Fairly normal day today. For reading, I read IDW’s TMNT, Vol. 8. For data analysis, I updated my word tracker spreadsheet with some additional data points. I’m tracking whether I am at “Pulp Speed”. If you’ve never heard of this, read Dean Wesley Smith’s blog post on...

I had a crazy day today so I’m behind the eight ball, but I should still have A word count today. I’ll pick up where I left off tomorrow. Not a big deal. The challenge I face tonight: getting words in when bedtime is about 30 minutes away. Ironically, here is a...

I got some things done today and plan to get back to writing tomorrow. For reading and data analysis, no work unfortunately. For marketing, I had some cool opportunities hit my inbox, so I took advantage of those. Amazon selected Be a Writing Machine to be featured in...

Another swampy day today. I expected this and plan to have a better second half of the week. For reading, marketing, and production – all zero progress today, except for working on some slides for my presentation on Sunday. I did get Indie Author Confidential...

I’m on the Creative Penn this week. 🙂 Link below. Yesterday and today really got away from me. That’s the reality of writing life. Sometimes, life just hits you and you’ve got to roll with it. I’m glad it happened between books so it didn’t really slow my momentum...
