Three Weeks of the Year I'm A Genius
On average I would say my brain works to full capacity one or two days a month. I feel incredibly focussed, confident and creative. I want to tear down walls and build up relationships. My mind spins with positivity and ideas. So should you encounter me tomorrow just remember I am but a shadow of my former self.
There's been something of a backlash to the news that Amazon is 'adopting' Goodreads. Personally I can see some positives; then again Amazon is a corporation hell bent on taking over the world, and deserves a bloody nose. I don't think boycotts generally work, but I have unsubscribed five titles from the exclusive-to-Amazon Kindle Select. This isn't a reaction as KS wasn't really working for me anyway. It was on the cards and means these novels are now back on Smashwords and thenceforth the iBookstore etc.
Subvision is now out in paperback via lulu.com. With a new cover. I plan to follow it with Underlay, Imbroglio and The Warm Rerigerator shortly. So expect a deluge of summer giveaways! Yay...
In other news I've bought a 19yr old car. The older a motor vehicle the more fun it is to drive. Just try it. All marketing is bullshit, whether it's books or cars, and an orgasm is the only instant gratification that works well on a repeated basis. Old cars are noisy, too, not to mention drenched in past owners' personal history, every cigarette burn and paint scrape a story; plot twists in fabric stains and untold-of trips along deserted roads in the dead of night.
Sexy.
