Happy Apple // day. I miss mine.

Time to relax and play.

Time to relax.

You don’t need conflict or competition in order to be a success #life

I sold a copy of “to Preserve Health” just now. Again, someone wondering what I was doing. #writing

“Life has a way of making you feel dead while you’re still alive.” #writing #throwawayline

“He was a theist. He didn’t care which god he believed in as long as he wasn’t held responsible.” #eriting

Don’t take things personally, whether they are or not. #life #success

“The priest looked like hell.” #writing

“When you scream and those around you think you’re singing. That’s the time to get an agent.” #eriting #throwawayline

It’s time for food and some free-writing.

Got it. #nintendo

Which idiot decided that integrating AI (ChatGPT) into a storage app (Dropbox) is a good idea. We’ve devolved into the age of functionality for marketing sake. #ai #marketing #failure

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
