It’s live . . . again!

Also close to getting Savage Lands back up on paperback, and a random observatory note. Reminder if you like.

I’m hoping to get the Savage Lands paperback up by the end of this month (May 2022). I ended up having to adjust the cover image, and a lot of the interior file. Stuff I wanted to try out, but when I got the paperback proof I realized I was going to have a lot more work on my hands so decided I’d try that again later on. On another paperback where it would fit more.

Note – Savage L...

One more paperback down

Over the weekend I have been working on getting the Savage Lands paperback down, and then back up. For those new, I was already planning on pulling all my paperbacks from Amazon and moving them to Lulu. (You’ll still find them for sale on Amazon after the switch, it’s just Lulu will handle the sales and not Amazon.) But around November last year I finally got fed up enough with the comparisons to “Kim Iversen,” and wanted to experiment with my full name on my work anyway, that I just made the sw...

Home repair girl

For almost the past week I’ve been working on our washer. Last week when I was doing laundry it began to make a noise during the spin cycle. Did a few more loads, and then noticed that stuff was still pretty damp.

So I tested and noticed that the spin doesn’t spin. Water drains, washer works. Just doesn’t spin during the spin cycle, and it makes a horrible sound. So hi YouTube. And reading up online. And researching. And finding my washer number. And more.

Did pretty well everything they ...

Getting set to update site

Okay, I was able to get my domain switched over to a new provider yesterday so that’s one big thing down. Did it to save moolah is all. I have nothing ill to say about GoDaddy save for the domain prices were going up every year, and I can’t afford such a cost.

I debated switching this site to a paid plan through WP so I could remove ads, but that again ups costs and for the time being I need to save more than spend. I apologize if the ads bother you. They don’t seem to be too intrusive which...

Know what I found

I found my Secrets Below Gargoyle Cavern ediiiitttsss. Pretty sure it was on here that I mentioned I may have lost them. Hoped I didn’t lose them, but wasn’t sure. I cleaned out my drawer where I stash my laptop, and that’s where I was also keeping my stories to edit, and where more got caught up. It was getting to be too much in that drawer.

I started to get behind on edits, or too far ahead of myself so things were stacking up. I threw them in the drawer, everything became a mess, but then...

Free giveaway

I’m gonna try to post more on my ko-fi link below. So if you wanna follow, you can. Might figure out what I can use tiers for and start them eventually. I have to get organized first. Still trying to get to updating my books page and main page here. Because I also plan to get back into discussing the story I’m writing on here as life inspiration, psycho analyzing, etc. I like to. I want to do it.

Right now my release schedule will be Creations of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Void, and th...

Maybe I won’t need multiple

The more I work on the 3rd POV for my Sorceress story, the more I’m considering that I might not need to keep track of both POVs. I’ll have a few of my closest read each side soon (I wanted to get into it a bit before I did), and tell me what they think. If I don’t get a clear idea from that, then I’ll expand out to ask for volunteers.

I am a confusing person to know, I am aware. I am also a difficult person to keep track of, follow, or be friends with, I know. I do the best I can. And I app...

I’m trying to determine how to keep track

I started writing my Sorceress world at long last, around the end of December I believe. Well, as I’ve mentioned, I am working on two different versions. A 1st POV and a 3rd POV. Well, usually I keep track of one book in a widget in sidebar, or footer. Depending on the theme I use for WordPress.

But this has two versions. Of the same book. So . . . I’m debating making a page for it where it’s similar to a method I’ve done before on here. Still have the blog posts up somewhere, but I don’t re...

Not even gonna bother

I was thinking I’d record this as a video, but I’m not even gonna bother to try. That requires sitting down in front of the camera, recording a video, and sacrificing something. Usually writing time. Then having to find to time to edit it to include my watermark of website, and then uploading. I don’t even edit my videos as much as other people because I’m all, meh time-consuming, not going for professional, and that’s not the point right now.

Right now, I mainly film them to get myself used...

Dreamt of her

I dreamt about Amber last night. Not sure why. I’ve often felt like when an animal has passed, and they come to you in dreams (read this too) that it’s really them. The reason they may not is that we are not ready for their visit. Same could be said about people passing. I do dream of my father who passed too, but there are certain dreams with him that are different. As if more real; that he’s truly there. I’m not sure I can every fully believe in stuff like that, but it does comfort me so I...
