Hello there!
I’ve not been on social media much since Thursday evening nor have I been here. We caught the 2am ferry on Friday and now we’re in Christchurch. Such fun. Besties together again, is ALWAYS fun.

1. [Foxtrot Mike Tango] is still with my editor. I’ve had one text to say she was intrigued.

2. I played with a copy of the file and did a quick format (had to guess the margins but I’ve done it so many times I suspect I’m not far out). I wanted to find out how many pages there were so I could get on with the cover. It’s 500 pages.

3. There was cover nonsense yesterday (or maybe the day before) with the knowledge that I didn’t have a cover template for a 500 page book I created one. Then I messed around with the image (that hasn’t changed, it’s still passports) and moved things a bit.

4. Amazon ads were a bust. I won’t be doing that again. Pretty sure I had the same shit result last time I tried them. I found a note to myself about that.

5. There is a Facebook ad running, I think, and that might be more useful. Still nothing to see sales wise though.

6. What else? I created a reel for [FML] but haven’t posted it yet. Also created some graphics and haven’t posted them either. It’s not time.

7. Pretty sure I have done other things but cannot recall what!

8. Still reading that awful book. I’m now treating it as a comedy. Get this for a line ‘they lay against the house’ … did they really? How does one lie against a house when the person is standing? Why not just say leant? The author is still laying cups on tables and climbing on chairs. Why am I still reading it? My own laziness but also a bit of morbid curiosity. It’s like a train wreck and I can’t look away. It gets worse by the chapter.

9. That’s about it really.

10. Go buy a book 🙂
