Hello. Switch it up today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Animal Crossing got an update today on the Switch 1 #animalcrossing #nintendo

Time to crash. Plan for tomorrow: — errands — pick up Switch 2 — go through “The Cat and the Warlock” editing feedback. — play some games

“When you have a life, you don’t need a wife.” #writing #throwawayline

Yeah, it’s that kind of day. Seriously, people. Writing agents, promoters, and publishers do not need to cold-call or spam to get business. They are drowning in submissions without having to do so. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t sending out so many rejection letters. #publishing #writing

lol! Another “promoter” sent me to their website and this is what I found… #publishing #spam #failure

The Gathering: Two of Fudge’s kittens at the shelter… #feral #cat

Latest “publishing” spam, in the form of clickbait: —- “Once your book reaches the market, you can expect to earn between $20,000 up to $300,000, depending on the negotiation and success of your book’s release.” —- They never mention the book. They send a form letter. #publishing #spam …

The Gathering: It’s been a hectic day. I took two of the kittens to the shelter, but they are full and no other shelters are taking in animals in the area. I did schedule neuter/spaying over the next several months for all of them. #feral #cat

If you’re not calm, you won’t create calm around you. #life #failure

Looking good, so far. Time to start work on “Coins of Destiny 3”. auteureist.com/CoD/ #writing #book

Good morning, everyone. I’m running on not enough sleep, which is at odds with having a lot to do. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Time to relax with some tea and watch some old Zorro reruns.

Woot! Author copies are here. Get yours! auteureist.com “To Wield Power - Coins of Destiny 2” #book #publishing

I’m disappointed in this year’s WWDC Apple Design Award winners, which is not to say they aren’t great apps. However, most of them are not Apple apps, but apps that have been ported from other platforms and have very little to do with “Apple Design”. Just my 2p. #wwdc #awards #failure #apple

I just got “The Cat and the Warlock” back from the editor. Only minor changes needed. I should be able to deal with them in the next day or two. #writing #editing

All set for Thursday.

Cool! I just discovered I have an American Persimmon tree (a large one) amongst a lot of other trees. Hope some of the fruit survives the animal life. #botany #persimmon #plant

Back in my day, we had reference manuals for software and hardware. Now we get intro videos and quick ref guides. #progress

Good news! “To Wield Power - Coins of Destiny 2” is now out as an eBook (print copies coming). auteureist.com/CoD/COD-2… Get your copy now! I decided to forego pre-sales this time. #book #publishing #CoD2 #thriller

I have lots to do today.

Hello. Apparently, Canada is on fire again (or still is). We’ve got smoke/heavy haze down in Dover DE this morning. ing

It’s time to relax with some tea.
