God, it's been years since I've written anything, sad to admit. I have it in my mind to think about the Dean/Cas Big Bang this year, but I don't know. I need to make some money doing the professional thing if possible. But damn I miss it.

I'm so glad to hear it's going so well!

Thanks! I'm working on it! (Except not at the moment because I'm procrastinating!)

With a 70% royalty rate for books published at $2.99 and above, the returns can be good if people can find you. It's competitive. But if you do it right, it's long-term cash flow. It's all about keywords, good covers, and marketing, all of which I've been researching. Next comes formatting, which I'm stressing over.

I am so excited to get my hands on this thing, baby!

OMG you need to email me your schedule or something so you can take a rough beta drive. Fo realz. I haven't even looked at it for editing yet, and to be honest, I don't want to second-guess everything I've written because I KNOW I WILL the minute I start editing. I want to get this shit out and start on the next one. Productivity = money in this game.

Well this week has been insane because I had anxiety counseling on top of 2 PT appts, and both Nephew and Niece this upcoming weekend, but...next week looks pretty light. Only my 2 regular PT appts and The BFF will be out of town for the weekend, like the 28th or whatever, so extra downtime for me. I have to do my own writing because I haven't even done any this month - very busy arting instead - but especially if I can open it on my IPad, I should be able to give it a rough look over next week. Cool? K. Cool.

I definitely like the sound of this!
