Huh… It's Felt Like More Than a Week

Like the title says, it feels like my last post was more than a week ago. Of course, if it wasn't for my mind finding random things to do other than what I should be doing, this post would not be written.

There is actually something I'm waiting to post about and I'm really hoping it will out there soon, but at this stage, I have no control over it. 'It's something fun,' is all I will say.

So in just over two weeks (October 17, to be exact) Sci-FU will be celebrating its first published year! Isn't that awesome! Yes, it is awesome and nothing anyone says will change that. It may not be some crazy success, but it is what I wanted to write and I love it, so there. Oh, by the way, I don't think I'll be making it free on Kindle that day, but I may change my mind. I'm thinking this for two reasons. One is at $3, I think people should be just as willing to buy it as to get it for free. (Seriously, $3 isn't much. That's less than the coffee some people drink!). Two is that the publication date is not as special to me as the starting and ending of the first draft. Publishing obviously is an accomplishment, but it's not the same as writing the thing. I guess an analogy would be birthdays and graduations. You (typically) celebrate birthdays every year, but who celebrates graduating from high school or college a year later?

There was something else I wanted to do that day though, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pull it off. I was hoping to publish some more things either on the 17th or maybe the 18th but I just don't know if I'm going to be able to get my nose to the grindstone and do it. The Death of Heroes needs to enter form 1.1 I feel, and I've not even completed Professional Witness yet. One issue with not being employed (for me at least) is the complete lack of a daily schedule, so it's a lot harder to get myself to set aside time and actually cherish that time for what I intend to use it for. There is still over two weeks left, so it is possible I will be able to pull it off. After all, I'm pretty good at writing, it's the sitting-down-to-write part that's giving me the problem. Oh, and also do some artwork. (Professional Witness needs a cover and while I know what I want it to be, it is not going to be easy.)

Wish me luck, my imaginary readers! I hope I won't need it.

PS. I actually don't think anyone reads this, or reads it seriously. Probably the latter is a good thing, if the former is not true, but I think the former is true because why would the former be true if the latter is how one should not prove the former?

PPS. On a less confusing note, I have spent at least five minutes trying to come up with something clever to counter the last line. Obviously I have failed at doing so.
