Like Witch of the Federation or The Steel Dragon size.
This week, I spoke with ALLi (Alliance of Independent Authors) on a recorded video call for their symposium on selling foreign rights (with others, including Judith Anderle our CMO for the company who honestly spoke the most for LMBPN – it’s her area of expertise.)
I finished a book titled In Cold Type by Leonard Shatzkin written in 1983. The book helped open my eyes to the issues in the book selling business. I hope to figure out a way and implement a solution on selling paperbacks (which is about .02% of our income, if that much.)
I greenlit (well, maybe only in my mind) Cryptid Assassin 05… but don’t have a clue on where I want the story to go, yet.
(I might want to get on that.)
Before I do that, I have two story beats I have to review and approve and Opus 5 editing to finish.
I’ve been ill the last 48 hours and learned to respect my body once again. It has probably been twelve months or longer that I have gone without any serious sick downtime. There is nothing like experience to foster sympathy through empathy. At least for me.
There is going to be a big author signing/fan get together or something going on the Friday after the 20Booksto50k Event here in Las Vegas in November (the show runs Tuesday to Thursday 10th-12th). Yes, yes I know that is Friday the 13th ;-). I didn’t set the date, ask Martelle about that one! The event will be held at Sam’s Town Casino and Hotel (about 20 minutes east of the strip driving straight over.)
For those who know, I’m doing a weight loss ‘thing’ with my older brother. My goal was to be under 220 by Feb 1st. I weighed in at 218.8.
Go Team! (I imagine being sick and unable to eat much helped, but what the hell. I’m keeping that ‘W’ on my side.) Now, I need to finish June 30th at UNDER 202.0 lbs. If it looks like I might miss it, you may see Anderle doing all sorts of crazy stuff to drop weight.
I’m going to wrap up this diary post, as I’m about two days past due on a lot of work. Take care of yourselves and I’ll chat with you in the next … OH OH!
New Universe coming 2020! (Well… uh… that’s not even a big deal anymore, it’s LMBPN. OF COURSE THERE IS A NEW UNIVERSE COMING!)
Enjoy.
