Young adult & cozy fantasy author
Won a couple awards
Named “a treasure” by my husband
Just as an anecdote as a wide author: 44% of my total income this year came from Amazon ebook sales. 0 of my titles are in KU.

Going wide is a "yes, and" strategy. You're not *not* making your titles available on Amazon.

The worst is when you know they suck while drafting, but you're trying to get stuff down, and then future you is just mad.

I also have things like "set up the next 2-3 months of newsletters drafts" and "schedule Amazon ads for the next 6 weeks" just anything that takes more than a passing thought.

I also have a mad to do list (hello coping skills) and when there's a rabbit hole I want to go down, I add it to the "things to accomplish during admin week" project, then tackle it when I have space.

Also on this list: Scheduling a social date and one self care task.
