(no subject)
Tried a night on the sofa instead of my chair. Not a whole lot comfier on the back, though my foot did feel better with the extra pillows. It's really more of a love seat, so it's not long enough to stretch out on completely. I did watch a few episodes of The Mandalorian finally, as long as I was in the TV room ... I like the show. Not sure I'm going to binge-watch it, but I'm interested.
I've also had an idea for a nonfiction project. I remember from my WikiAnswers days how many questions we got from kids about how to start writing and whether a kid could even write. So I'm going to call it "How to Write if You're a Kid" (or I may change the title, who knows?) -- anyway, it's going to be everything I think a kid-writer needs to know, from the terminology to tips & tricks I wish I'd known back then. I think I might be able to sell this puppy, though we'll see what my agent has to say. Knowing her thoughts on nonfiction, she's probably going to suggest I get someone famous to do the introduction ... sheesh. Think RL Stine or Judy Blume would be available?
I have my email newsletter collector set up - if you sign up for my newsletter, you get a free short story all about how the band members got those weird nicknames! I think that will probably go over better if I manage to sell the damn book, but hey, it's there if anybody wants it! And if I actually get anybody who signs up, they'll get a copy of the monthly newsletter! The Patreon Site is live as well. Crickets chirping on both sites, but I'm ready if I ever do get a nibble from a publisher.
I am up at Oh-God-Hundred this morning for some reason, too. Set my alarm for 5:00am so I would take my pain medicine on time and not wake up in agony like yesterday ... and can't get back to sleep. So I figured I'd use the morning and get some social media stuff done, then finish up my nonfiction book. Wish me luck...
