What a Week that was...

picture of despair?




 I have had a pretty frustrating week and when I saw this picture, it kinda summed up how I was feeling.  Plus, the weather has been as hot as hell and the thought of being up to my axles in the sea, really appealed to me!  Apart from that it was mainly a week of 'if only's, and why the hell didn't you'?
 
You know what I mean, all those things you should have done or learnt instead of carrying on as if you had no ambition to speak of and all the time in the world anyway. Now don't go thinking that I have been living it up without a care in the world, my life has been full of all the usual complications and things I thought I might have achieved but never got around to. But somehow life has a habit of making you lose track of the time and if you're not careful you lose other things too.
Like all those dreams you once had, when you had the energy and enthusiasm to go with them.

I have been bitterly chastising myself lately for avoiding the computer age when I was still young enough to have learnt how to use one properly. I have always had a problem with technology, my brain seems to freeze at the merest thought of it. It was only when I kept reading about all these writers who were really getting somewhere with e-books that I decided that I would try to do it too.

I figured, as I usually do, that other people were doing it, so how hard could it be?  I wasn't really stupid, I could learn how to do it, couldn't I?

To cut a very long, frustrating, blood sweat and tears story short, I have managed (don't ask me how)to learn an awful lot. Our e-books are on Amazon, Smashwords and Goodreads. I have mastered the art of creating Print-on-demand and we have one book, (nearly two) in paperback format.

I am still trying to get to grips with Facebook, but I fear I may have to give up on it, as my brain refuses to work whenever I go near it.

This website/blog has been running for nearly a year now and some people (bless them all!) have been visiting it. Funnily enough, although I still hate my PC with a passion, it is remarkable how clever I feel whenever I manage to achieve something new!

So, to quote a famous TV celebrity, 'I have started, so I will finish!' And I will. I will achieve some (small?) success for both Anita and myself in the publishing world, or die trying!!!!!
