mmegaeraNo, they don't really have anything to do with each other.
Now that I'm all but done -- or at least have reached a point where I can't do any more until I'm gotten back to -- with publishing four books in paper, republishing two ebooks (new covers, minor changes inside) and publishing two new ebooks, all at once -- now tell me why I did them all at once again???
Anyway, leaving that sentence fragment to dangle over its own cliff, now that I'm all but done with that, my website needs some serious updating. So that's what I've been working on all bloody afternoon. I'm making some progress, but I suspect this is going to take me the better part of a week's worth of afternoons (mornings are for actual, real, writing, as in putting words on the page -- over 70,000 on Cross-Country so far since the middle of July). I can do it, I just don't do it often enough to remember how to do it without a lot of trial and error and looking things up. I'm getting there.
And since my house has fallen to shambles in the last couple of weeks while I wrestled with InDesign, cover art, and headers and footers, not to mention CreateSpace, Amazon, and Smashwords, I think I'm about to call it a day and at least mop the kitchen floor.
Oh, and I woke up Sunday morning with my left knee hurting, right under (as opposed to below) my kneecap. It hurts to bend it and unbend it (although not to stay in either position, but it makes getting up and down stairs interesting), and so far it's not getting better. Ibuprofen helps the muscles around it not hurt, but not the kneecap itself. If I thought the doctor would do anything but prescribe stronger painkillers, I'd go, but I'm going to stick it out for at least another week before I do and see if it starts getting better by then. I cannot afford to continue to develop the tolerance for ibuprofen that I began when my shoulder ended up having surgery in 2005. I need that stuff for my migraines.
Anyway. Oh, and we had another round of thunderboomers last night. It sounded like Texas out there. The cats are not amused at all this rain, either. I suspect they're going to be really pissed by the end of October, and stay that way till next June.
On the bright side (there's a bright side?) I have another contract with Lakewood. Gonna build 'em another exhibit this winter. This one's about Lakewood's connection with the military and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, just down the street.
