I’m sure you all have noticed that I’ve been gone and have also missed me greatly. I just got home yesterday from a 9-night cruise. It was lovely. We went to lots of islands that I’d never been to before, which was fun, but mostly I just go to get a break from everything.
We never get the ship internet package, so we go the whole time with no idea of what’s going on in real life. And it’s nice, because if we have internet, we tend to keep using it to check emails and social media and so on. It just feels good to take the time to fully disconnect and give ourselves a break. We tend to live busy lives with lots of to-do lists and schedules. But on a ship, you can really relax.
My book covers for Somewhat Alive are finished! They look pretty good to me. Now I just have to figure out things like pricing and marketing and so on. It’s probably the least fun aspect of writing, but it’s a necessary part of things.
Actually, making TikToks is probably the least fun. That’s kind of marketing, but kind of not. I’m too old for TikTok, really. Sadly, my readers are not. What can we do.
It is Cyber Monday, which if we’re being honest, I feel that Black Friday has been a scam for years now. How can stores possibly be having Black Friday sales all month long? Cyber Monday is just a marketing ploy by the online retailers to make sure they get their share of my money. But yet. I must check all my favorite websites, just to make sure there aren’t any amazing deals.
Imagine if I were able to knock out all my Christmas shopping on Cyber Monday! I’d be a hero. They’d write epic poems about me for years. Maybe even songs, too. I’d be a legend. Of course, my current to-do list is far from done and I only have about another hour to work on it, so it’s not likely to get done, but you never know. It’s important to dream big.
