Glorious Saturday
I didn’t do anything productive today. I laid in bed, read manga, and talked with Anne and Rebecca. That’s it.
It was beautiful.
And as soon as I finish this entry, we’re all going to finally watch the new IT and get white girl wasted afterward. Or maybe during. Dunno.
I hope your Saturday was as glorious as mine. 😊

Of zombies and laundry
I had the strangest dream last night. I was in the middle of an apocalyptic zombie infested anarchy type situation, and all I could think about was getting my laundry done! I mean, it was a strong compulsion – I absolutely had to get it done for some reason. Crazy. See, this is what happens when I deal with the business end of authoring and don’t do any creative writing – my imagination gets back at me and makes me dream shit like this. I promise you I am not trying to be cute, either. This motherfucking dream must have lasted all night long. It was like a fucking movie!
Anyway, it was another day of full of accomplishments for me. I’m mentally worn out though, and this weekend is going to be the antidote for that. Alcohol is in the fridge, Anne is nesting at my place, and my video games and manga are ready to go. The only problem? I really want to work on The Qedesha’s Handmaiden! It’s turning out to be such a fun story, and I absolutely love the main character, Leah. This book is the end of the Qedesha trilogy and answers all the questions readers have been asking me since the first book was released. Like what happened at the end of Qedesha (Sacred Prostitution)…
I received notice this morning that my latest accomplishment, Cramming Sis! Again!, is available for April preorder. I also completed the paperback version, and it’s been submitted for review. And then Amazon informed me that the paperback version of The Champion’s Gift: A Qedesha Story is available for purchase, even though the preorder won’t be released until March.
That pretty much sums up my day. All work, no play. Until now, that is. I’m seriously thinking about starting the weekend just a tad bit early…
I love you, #Alexaliens. Enjoy your weekend.
And remember: if you don’t have anything to do this weekend and no one to talk to, you always have me. Just hit your girl up. 😉

Impatiently awaiting the weekend
I cannot wait until the motherfucking weekend gets here. When it does, I am not doing a single writing-related thing – my heathen ass is going to drink, play The Sims 4, kill zombies in Left 4 Dead’s third mission, and marathon read the rest of My Balls (the manga I’m currently reading). And maybe even play a little Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I dunno. Whatever I do, I’m not writing. No chance in hell.
You’re probably wondering why I’m being so vehement about this.
Let me share my day with you thus far:
I woke up this morning and jumped straight on creating the paperback version of The Champion’s Gift (A Qedesha Story), which took several hours, then submitted it for approval. It’s still under review. I then wrote Amazon asking why the fuck my cover wasn’t appearing on the books page. Immediately after I sent the message I went back to the page – and the cover was there.
Well played, Amazon, well played.
After getting pawned by Amazon, I spent about an hour completely redoing the cover for Cramming Sis! Again! (I do the covers for my Quickies stories) and then spent several more hours polishing up the story itself and submitting it for review/preorder for April, which is as far as Amazon will let me go. So, no more preorder submissions for a while.
And then I started drafting out The Qedesha’s Handmaiden, the sequel to The Champions Gift. It’s going to be a short, freaky little bit of erotica. I have to write it though; the main character is just too captivating to leave alone.
After that, it’s back to my professional writing project.
I wrapped up a few dozen other tasks (both author and personal) and… here I am writing this entry.
It was an exhausting, but rewarding day...

Nintendo did it again!
See, I had all sorts of author accomplishments and updates to post about today, but then Nintendo went and announced Labo. And my mind was blown. If this had been released on April 1st it would have made complete sense – I would have just written it off as an April Fools Day joke (looking at you, Google), but today? These motherfuckers are serious. They’re really going to make this.
To be honest, at first, I was kind of underwhelmed. But then I watched the video and became a bit intrigued. See, I own a Switch, and when I heard about a big announcement they were going to make I figured it would be a (long overdue) Animal Crossing game or something similar.
Not Labo.
It’s going to be interesting to see how it’s received. Nintendo has always been a radically thinking company, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but no one can ever say they haven’t been innovative and interesting.
Kind of like me.
Respect. 😀
Now on the author front…
I created a Blogger (primarily for increased visibility), transferred all of this year’s Diary entries to it, and intend to basically just copy & paste the entry I posted here to it at the end of the day. I also submitted The Champion’s Gift (A Qedesha Story) for March 1 preorder, and just found out that it was accepted and is publishing. The cover isn’t showing up yet, but they only accepted it a few hours ago, and they said cover images and such could take up to three days to appear. Regardless, you’re able to preorder it now, and my preorder offer I made with Amore stands for this one as well: send me proof that you preordered, and I’ll send you a gift. Just a simple screenshot of the purchase page will do. 🙂
I already have another story planned that will use one of the two main characters from The Champions Gift called The Qedesha’s Handmaiden, and I may just crank it out and use it as a Patreon exclusive. I’m sort of on a break from my pen name writing for a minute, in case you can’t tell. I do that sometimes when I’m writing actual novels. It’s therapeutic.
Oh! The paperback version of Amore is now live and purchasable! Which is strange since the eBook version won’t be released until February 1st, but I can’t figure out how to delay the release of the paperback so… fuck it. 😀
On a side note: don’t eat a shit-ton of ice-cream right before you go to bed. I found this out the hard way last night. Not only did it take forever for me to get to sleep, but my dreams were just strange. Like, zombie-apocalypse X-Men WW3 strange. And then I woke up and bit the shit out of my tongue, so all day today eating has been a chore. It took forever to quit bleeding, and will probably take a few days to heal, but it’s all good. After all that ice cream last night I need to lay off the food for a few days anyway…
Time to end this entry. I have hentai to watch. 😛

Busybusybusybusybusy
I have been one seriously busy bitch today.
I started my day out by spending hours converting Amore into a paperback and then submitting it for approval. Speaking of the paperback: if you’re going to buy just one version of Amore, I highly suggest getting the paperback one. It’s formatted the way I always intended the story to be, a feat that eBooks just couldn’t pull off. This is the first time I’ve ever suggested getting a paperback over an eBook, but in this one case, I am.
Not that the eBook doesn’t rock. I’m just saying the paperback looks a lot better.
Also: don’t forget, if you preorder Amore and send me a screenshot of your receipt, I’ll send you an immediate special reward. But only if you preorder. So, if you know you’re going to get it anyway, you might as well get the free reward and the book when it’s released, right? Free is always good. 🙂
I also started accepting auditions for Amore’s audiobook version. I have regular professionals, but I like to give others a chance first. It’s how I discovered some of my best narrators. I personally listen to all auditions, so if you’re a narrator on Audible throw your hat in. What could it hurt? If you’re interested, just go to Audible and search for projects accepting auditions. Type Amore and it should be the number one result. Show me what ya got!
Anyway, I’m also about 95% finished with The Champions Gift (A Qedesha Story), which I also plan on putting up for preorder in the next few days. I have a slew of books I’m about to do this with. I even have some titles that are just sitting on my Amazon author dashboard completely finished that I actually forgot about. So, they’ll be available for preorder soon too. 😀
But wait, there’s more!
I am proud to announce that I completely finished and polished the shit out of my Patreon, which will be launching February 1st. There are some seriously awesome rewards I put in there, rewards I created by not only brainstorming and getting reader feedback but also by combing through what everyone else on Patreon is doing. I’m a competitive sort, you see, so I wanted to give rewards that are over-the-top and better than others. I think you guys will like what I came up with. Only a few more weeks until it launches…
Now I have a dilemma, Alexaliens, and I need your help. See, there’s an upcoming Valentine’s Day erotica collection being put together by The Bad Girls of Erotica, and I’m torn between two stories for inclusion. So, I posted a vote form on Twitter for the next three days, and whichever gets the most votes I’m going with. To vote, please go there and let me know which one you think would be better.
Time to go for now: I made a $40 bet with the bestie that I could invent a true ice cream salad that didn’t taste absolutely disgusting.
Wish me luck. 😛

Plot revisions galore
I spent most of the day retooling the plot of my current “labor of love” because it was getting too far off course. OK, that is putting it mildly. My characters decided to make me their bitch and completely train-wrecked my fucking story. Yeah, that sounds more like what happened. So, I stopped writing, pulled out the tablet (which I then proceeded to drop, but luckily, it’s OK) and re-tooled the plot, sub-plot, and plot twist. And then went back and re-wrote / deleted / changed things to make everything fall in line.
And then killed one of my characters off as an example to the others.
Everything is going much better now. 🙂
In other author news, Amore: A Love Story is available for preorder! When you order it, it will be wirelessly sent to your device on February 1st. I plan on doing more of my titles this way (way easier than waiting until the last minute), and I’ll announce it on social media and in these pages as I do so. So, keep your eyes peeled. If you do preorder it, send me a screenshot of your order, and I’ll send you a special thank you surprise as a token of my appreciation. Seriously.
Also: The Secret Life of Miel paperback version is now live! The audiobook is still being recorded, but the eBook and paperback are available for sale now. It’s my darkest, most profound story yet about love and the occult. If you’re a fan of the paranormal, I’m sure you’ll love it. Oh, yeah, and there’s a ton of sex in it, too. Just so you know.
Anyway, Natalie (my pregnant assistant / big brothers baby momma who I’m about to put in a choke hold if she doesn’t quit throwing popcorn at me while I’m trying to write this motherfucking entry) is over here jumping up and down on the couch and waiting impatiently for me to get off the computer so we can watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on Netflix, so I better close for now. You know how the pregnant persuasion gets…

A typical Sunday. Whether I wanted it or not.
I had every intention of writing today. I went to bed brewing with ideas and genuinely excited about the direction my current story was going. I had to pull off some serious Jedi mind tricks to keep from repeatedly thinking of things I wanted to add, which frequently happens when I go a day or two without writing.
And then I woke up this morning at 9 AM. Which is, in case you don’t know me, is four or five hours later than I’m used to.
Anyway, I just laid there, blinking up at the ceiling as my head pounded from drinking yesterday and glanced over at my computer. The first thing I thought of was World of Final Fantasy. Not writing, story development, or anything else author related. Video games. And anime (my current series: Ah! My Buddha!)
Sigh.
I guess Sundays are so ingrained as slack days that my mind went on strike when I even thought of making it otherwise. That just means tomorrow it’s going down like a one-legged fat chick in a kickboxing contest.
I ended up spending the day at Anne’s house, and we ended up marathoning Drunk History on Hulu. During which I text-bombed my big brother every single weird history fact I learned. Cause love. 😀
It was a fun, relaxing day, but I cannot wait until tomorrow.
I have words to write…

Relaxing and shallow
I was a horrendous author-unit today. Not only did I not write at all, but I’m also drunk as fuck. Most of my day was spent playing World of Final Fantasy, Left 4 Dead, and The Sims 4. Repeatedly. In fact, as soon as I’m done with this entry, I’m going back to one of them. I’m not sure which.
I blame Anne. She’s the one that drove (in her electric wheelchair) to the 7-11 next door just to get alcohol. Which is why she’s just a little less drunk than I am. I say a little less because she likes these girly flavored drinks, while I love straight beer. I think this is why we get along so well. Balance. 😀
I also surfed on the internet a bit. And not just for weird fetish porn (this time). You know, drinking is the absolute worst time to come across people like Poppy and Whitney Wisconsin “dog fucker.” I never heard of either, but I was stumbling around on YouTube and…wow. My horizons were definitely expanded.
Anyway, considering my day was so relaxing and shallow, I’m ending this entry here.
Tomorrow: back to writing.
I can’t wait…

Paying to play
Boy did I pay for taking the day off yesterday. I didn’t sleep too well last night (I never really do in other people’s beds), and when I finally came home and hunkered down to write, I found myself instantly drained and uninterested.
Which is abnormal as hell for me.
So I did other author things for a while, like respond to emails, play on social media, and spider monkey the big brother (who got home from work early today! 🙂 ).
Eventually, I found my way back to writing and sort of baby-crawled, gradually picking up momentum the more I wrote. When everything was said and done I only managed to knock out 3,685 words, but they were good, passionate words, and honestly, I didn’t want to stop.
But I did. Because I had a Patreon to finish (which I did – it will be launching the first of February), promotions to prepare, and the paperback version of The Secret Life of Miel to reformat to make Amazon happy. Which, again, I did. And they are. I think.
I am so ready for the weekend though.
Not to take a break from writing or anything, of course. In fact, I plan on jumping over to erotica briefly to finish revising The Champion’s Gift (A Qedesha Story) just to have it in the chamber for a future release. It’s a sequel to Qedesha (Sacred Prostitution), and it deals with the life of the Qedesha’s most promising disciple. It’s a hot story, and one I really enjoyed writing. No, I’m looking forward to the weekend because I badly want to play The Sims 4, and during the week I barely have time to!
For now, though, it’s time to end this entry and get started on dinner. It’s my night to cook, so we’re having one of the few things I know how not to burn: tacos! And then: watching Happy Death Day with my brother. I can’t wait to watch that movie; the trailer seemed amusing as hell.
Anyway, wish me luck with the cooking. I’m probably going to need it. 😀

A much-needed day off
Dear Diary,
So, I’m writing this entry on my phone in bed. Rebecca’s bed. While she makes me a sammich. We just finished watching the J.K Rowling story on Lifetime, and, I’m not gonna lie, it gave me all kinds of feels. That she started out as a single mother on welfare and kept at her dream long enough and with enough tenacity to see it come to fruition is…inspiring.
And humbling.
See, writing has always been a bit of a game to me. I never truly threw myself into it like I should, partly because of real-life distractions being too…well…distracting, and partly because I always saw it as more of a hobby and not a career.
That movie was the catalyst for a paradigm shift for me.
I can’t wait to attack my writing tomorrow.
That being said, I’m glad I took the day off. I needed it. And not only that, but my loved ones needed it too. I was falling behind on my spider monkey quota with my brother, and my orgasm dry spell was getting pretty bad. Which might have caused me to saturate my newest upcoming stories with a little too much sex. Maybe. 😀
The only real author thing I did today was re-approve the audiobook version of Programming Sophia after my narrator fixed whatever issues Audible said it had. I don’t know what the problem was (that’s what I pay her for), but she got right on it and took care of everything. Oh, and I was informed by Amazon that after I changed the categories of the paperback version of The Secret Life of Miel that the inside has blurry text or something. So they want me to fix it so they can re-publish it. Never mind the fact that it’s one of my oldest stories and I have no idea what blurry text they’re talking about. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Hopefully, your day was as relaxing and enlightening as mine. Beautiful things are coming this year, #Alexaliens. I promise. Just wait and see…

I can’t wait to attack my writing tomorrow.
That being said, I’m glad I took the day off. I needed it. And not only that, but my loved ones needed it too. I was falling behind on my spider monkey quota with my brother, and my orgasm dry spell was getting pretty bad. Which might have caused me to saturate my newest upcoming stories with a little too much sex. Maybe. 😀
The only real author thing I did today was re-approve the audiobook version of Programming Sophia after my narrator fixed whatever issues Audible said it had. I don’t know what the problem was (that’s what I pay her for), but she got right on it and took care of everything. Oh, and I was informed by Amazon that after I changed the categories of the paperback version of The Secret Life of Miel that the inside has blurry text or something. So they want me to fix it so they can re-publish it. Never mind the fact that it’s one of my oldest stories and I have no idea what blurry text they’re talking about. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Hopefully, your day was as relaxing and enlightening as mine. Beautiful things are coming this year, #Alexaliens. I promise. Just wait and see…

“I am not a sexy woman, I’m not beautiful, I’m not a sex kitten, I don’t flirt with people, yet I’ve been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that’s solely because I don’t reveal too much: people are curious.”
