Writing is One of the Best Parts of Writing

In the past 3 days, I’ve written 2700 words, well surpassing the daily goal of 500 words/day. It feels so good.

Some say you should write for the reader, you know, write books that sell. It’s good advice for those that can do it. I can’t. I mean, maybe I could churn out a romance series and make a lot more (or any) money, but I don’t think so, because my heart wouldn’t really be in it. I’d find a way to insert my cynicism and smartassness and mess it up.

And so, for the time being, I will continue to write whatever pops in my head. Right now, it is The Greatest Crossover of All Time, featuring all the characters from the short stories I wrote last year. It’s very goofy, but it makes me chuckle, so hopefully someone out there will enjoy it, too. It’s basically like Avengers: Infinity War, except:

The characters come from a handful of short stories and novelettes rather than this huge base in comics and graphic novels.
There won’t have been 18 some odd films for the audience to get to know and love the characters.
It will only be novelette- (or possibly novella-) sized.
No Stan Lee cameos.
It will have been written by just one amateur, indie author (me) instead of brought to life by thousands of seasoned professionals.
Oh my god, it will be absolutely nothing like Avengers: Infinity War.

But hey, it’s fun to write and come up with all the ways the characters can interact, etc.

Other recent notes besides the writing:

Went through all of the comments for Arnesto Modesto on Wattpad (special thanks to Wattpad member knotanumber), fixed a couple typos.
Thanks to one review, I learned it may be better (especially for U.K. readers) to say “a couple of” rather than “a couple.” “A couple of times” >>> “A couple times.” Who knew? Anyway, changed a whole bunch of those in Arnesto (also learned that I overuse the phrase “A couple”).
Republished Arnesto Modesto and Tyrone Jackson on both Amazon and D2D with the above changes (Tyrone just had one known typo I happened to catch).
Raised the price of Arnesto up to $3.99. I want to try for a Bookbub deal again soon, and need to be able to discount it. Can’t really discount it from $0.99. Besides, it was $0.99 for long enough.
Maybe related to the above item, but had a couple no-sale days. Still selling, though!
