I wish these indie author services would think it through when they make casual changes to their apps. I have over 200 books. If I have to go in and change *every single book* because of their update, that's two full days of work!!

Back at the desk after an unofficial break over Christmas. Now I have to be hyper-vigilant and ensure I don't goof off because after a few days away from the keyboard, my writing muscle has already atrophied.
Sometimes, breaks just aren't worth it!

For over a decade, I have given away a book of your choice from my catalog, any pen name. It is my Christmas gift to readers and I loved doing it and chatting with readers who emailed me and told me what they picked.
Last year, assholes figured out a loophole and downloaded dozens of books.

Aaaaah! Now the pressure of Christmas is over, I can relax and get back to work.
And enjoy the left overs, which always taste better.

New computer is up and running! Man, it is *fast*! I hadn't realized how slow the old desktop had got. And now my laptop is looking stodgy, too!

Just listened to Carol of the Bells - John Williams' version. There are certain pieces of music that make the hair on the top of my head try to stand up. Carol of the Bells is one of them.
Ludovico Einaudi's "Life" is another.

Just finished and scheduled all the emails for my readers, for Christmas Day.
I hope you're subscribed to at least one of my pen names! 😉

So I'm working on my laptop while my new desktop is being bulilt, and I'm using my ergonomic keyboard and mouse via Logitech's Universal dongle.
And the damned dongle keeps cutting out. It takes 20 minutes to get the computer to recognize the thing, after that.
Logitech say "reboot".

New computer is ordered, and will be built by this time next week. Meantime, I've got the laptop propped up so I can use my full keyboard and mouse.
I'm gonna be squinting for a week, but at least I can keep working!

Damn, I keep getting caught by these stupid freaking fake author accounts! I mean, if it's Stephen King, I'm not going to fall for it, but lesser beings following me....okay.
It's got so that if anyone chats with me, my shield is instantly up....

My computer had a meltdown. It took ten minutes for the start menu to pop, and the CPU was at 38 degrees. So I turned it off, closed the lights and shut the door quietly.
It is eight years old, and wasn't the best you could get even then. Farewell, work horse!

It's Saturday. Clearing the decks, then writing. Because if I don't elbow out time to do this, the day fritters away and it's dinnertime already. #indieauthor #writing

Hammer and Crucible was savaged by a reviewer, who called it "popcorn fiction."
Which is okay. I've never pretended (or aspired) to write literature.
But why do reviewers who *clearly* prefer literature choose to read a book that clearly isn't, then ding it for being true to its nature?
