Still making progress. Got 2 more books done today. Busy day at work too so I didn’t get to the writing stuff until this evening, and I’m pretty tired. I recommend everyone read Joanna Penn’s blog today—she covers copyright and why it is so important. Folks, the...

I’m making good progress on my quality checks for all my books. I’m into my 2016 books now, and 2016 shouldn’t take me too long as that was my least productive year on record (6 books). I’m done with 17/66 books, so around 25% of my catalogue. After 2016, the checks...

More QA today. I’m approximately 20% of the way through my portfolio. It takes me anywhere from 45-min to 90 minutes per book, depending on how complicated it is (ie. How many formats exist). I’m almost all the way through my 2015 books, and after tomorrow I should be...

0 words. I’m still quality checking all of my books. I finished all my 2014 books. It’s a long and tedious process but the steps I’m following now will ensure that I don’t have to do this again for another 4-5 years, maybe more. When you have 1 or 2 books, you don’t...

0 words. My deadline on getting back into writing will be Friday. At that point I’ll be far enough into my cleanup project to relax a little and start generating more words. Anyhoo, I spent the day dealing with ACX issues. I’ll probably write about it in my Indie...

0 words again. I’ve been reviewing my books and updating my sales pages accordingly. The best way I can think to explain this is… You’re a land owner. You own many, many acres, so many acres that it’s impossible to know what’s going on around your land. So you’ve got...

0 words, but I did a quality check for another one of my books and got all that documented. I’m going to be doing a lot of quality checks between now and end of the year. Then, it’ll get much easier as I’ll have my new system off the ground. Have a good...

0 words today. I made some updates to another old book and republished it. I’ve started cleaning up some of my 2014 books and making updates. I keep pretty good records, but I have some gaps that I didn’t plan for that I have to learn the hard way. I’m building a very...

Another 0 word day, but I did a livestream power hour this morning. It went really long because every one had great questions. I spent the rest of the day trying to get organized. A lot of paperwork heading into tax season, and I’m trying to get ahead of it if I can....
