All right, the bad news first: I did not finish Right This Time this week. I've made it about a page and a half into the edits, which isn't bad, but it isn't great, either. I'm still hopeful that I'll be done soon. Mostly because I have about five other projects I'm ready to work on.
There's quite a bit of good news. Sales are picking back up again. Not much, but a little, and that feels good. I went through my personal online journal the other night and discovered several stories that I started and they're actually really good. One of them is being added to the list I plan for a God-themed erotica anthology and one is going to be written for a fandom I left last year as a final hurrah. There are others, originals, that I'll edit and find homes for, even if that home is just my website as samples of my writing.
The final piece of good news is this: my new tumblr blog. I've had a personal tumblr for a while and I love it. This is where my target demographic spends some of their free time (and I know this because I and my friends are part of my target demographic). This is where I learned about and decided to read The Hunger Games and The Haunted Vagina. This is where I find book recs and find out about some of the free books I've picked up and it's where I learn what my friends/fandom acquaintances are reading. So far, I only have three entries up, but I have one or two entries in the queue and I'm working on more. That blog differs from this blog in that over there, it's all about readers, while here, it's all about writers and fellow self-pubbers. I'll let you know how the experiment goes. I'm hopeful.

Monday Miscellany: Things I've Done Instead of Editing
Wow. I am just having a hell of a time editing. In fact, it's so bad that I've avoided looking at the story altogether for the last two days. Instead, I've been watching New Girl to get all caught up (I love Zooey Deschanel and am glad she's finally got a starring role, but I wasn't sure about the show... I was wrong, it's hilarious) and reading. I'm still working on Candlelight Sinner but I've finished Mockingjay (not as satisfying as I thought it would be, which I guess is kind of the point of the whole revolution) and The Haunted Vagina (gross and weird and I've totally found a new genre to explore).
Today, we took the kiddo to the Frankfurt Zoo. That place is so nice. It wasn't busy, so she could run around without me worrying. She loves monkeys. And birds. The thing that surprised me most was the number of baboons the zoo has. I counted 22 in one pen alone. They were all eating, which was just so fascinating to watch. This is the husband's last week of vacation (though we're looking at taking the kid to Disneyland Paris next month) so we're trying to do some fun things. Saarbrucken won't happen, but swimming and shopping probably will.
I have also purchased Tim Timebomb's new album and the first episode of Rock'N'Roll Theater. I'm waiting for my PayPal transaction to go through (I am so tired of using them) but as soon as it does, I will be in heaven. I love Tim Armstrong.
