chapter 27 is next, 67 in total

I tell myself the process is 2 weeks, and this is highly acceptable, it'll be less, I'm just bug hunting, most of these chapters are great

when I peak inside the writing community, I see a system designed to create formulaic, standardized books, into infinity

I should spend more time on here

twitter and facebook are kind of ghost towns

maybe the real answer is housework and yardwork and me work and listen to music and learn to sing and a new WiP and new poetry and a new audio book

I picked these July 4th, in my backyard

deep red is nasturtium

pink one is a begonia, it's hiding this is the best shot I could get without moving it

lunch is cooling

I hope to do audio work today

I will not finish today

I likely won't finish tomorrow

this may not look like a big cherry harvest for 2 trees, but it has taken years, and this is basically my best harvest, and I used a new technique called air flow pruning, and I can use it harder

I looked at this ad place

they were very open about the fact that part of their process involved changing ad copy

so a big red flag for me

I bought another advertising package for Jared Wolf, if everything goes right it pushes it over a half million reach

I've got two other invoices I'm waiting on, one is a big longshot, the other I expect I get

If I get the one I'm expecting, it's pushes Juxta, Magi over a million reach

USA + UK
16x ebooks (Action Adventure)
99 cents each
I can't run 99 cent sales in other countries

Ads bought, roughly 1million opt in emails will go to readers about my books, truth many won't be opened, legit emails people don't want they unsubscribe

Nobody knows what will happen

I'm waiting on 2 invoices, and I think it could be 72 hours, these are pretty good ads, kind of mid range ads, they hit on the same day for the same book

if I get neither invoice it will be a big gaping hole

at a point, I should just buy more ads and pay the invoices when they come

you guys want to see a flower I weedwhacked?

I hit all my writing goals for the near term

I should be playing outside

I have audio books to process but it's easy stuff

I purchased advertising tonight, my spend was around 100-125, I didn't hit my 500,000 reach goal

but I have money left, and another list of advertisers

if every book I pick up feels like the same author wrote it

I think this is an allium

I think I planted it
May 22, 2025 at 7:19 PM
my print formatting and print book came out really good

a few small issues

I addressed them and reloaded the file

and I uploaded the ebook

people like to pressure me to put in more hours, and I'm ahead of the game
May 22, 2025 at 1:56 PM
last night, after 7pm, accused of "waiting" because my next task I planned to address this morning

yeah, I'm "waiting" until morning, because I'm human and need rest

I don't know what the yellow flower is, it's in the flowerbed, it doesn't seem to be violating any rules

the blue purple one is deep blue in real life, my camera has failed, this is my spiderwort bloom, I did plant it, it's happy

food in oven

so many people have been pressuring me to do gardening, I don't even want to do gardening anymore, I just want the pressuring to stop
May 20, 2025 at 5:30 PM
92 pages, color ink, standard color, 3.50 print cost

pretty exciting

6x9 page size

formatting is done, I poked the artist

I want the print book finalized first

I'm not sure how the images will work on the ebook
May 19, 2025 at 9:08 AM
formatting is going well, but I feel about finished for today

stimulants were had

I don't have to finish today

If I hit hard tomorrow maybe I finish tomorrow
May 18, 2025 at 7:27 PM
if you think I'm insane because I want to poke a million people to read my book

the jokes on you, because I think I can go higher
May 17, 2025 at 11:41 PM
I should look at the Generation 2 Paint the Walls Marketing

And do some finalization
