Just a few stories this week as I have several on a regional level that are still in production for this weekend or early this week.
I'm working on a hybrid of projects over the next couple days, the result of working for a news publication during a pandemic.
Today and tomorrow: Part "real" work and part finishing up the first round of edits (non-fiction book) for a client. A smattering of fiction if time and the muse allows.
Sunday: "Real" work and fiction, if the above applies.
Monday and Tuesday: Fiction.
Also on Monday, a phone call with my "original" BryonySeries fan. Not my lone SUPER fan, but the very first person who found me by chance and read the original "drop of blood" trilogy.
She is not on social media too much these days, but she sent me a lovely college of virtual purple roses, said I'd been on her mind, and we scheduled a time to talk.
Quick thought, more later: As an indie author, I hear so much about the frustrations of marketing,, the "secrets" to marketing, etc.
But my biggest fan and my longest fan both found me by random. I wrote something that resonated with them and made it visible so they could discover it.
The fact that, nearly ten years later, someone could think of me with a trope from the BryonySeries means more to me than sales that mean nothing to the readers.
Be safe, be well, be blessed.
