So, how many free downloads do you get in five days?

313.  That’s the answer, for me anyways.

I think that’s a good start.  I’m hopeful I will have reviews starting up soon.  But I mean, I gotta give them time to actually READ the book.

I got a little stuck on the sequel, I just couldn’t seem to GO anywhere with the story.  Where was I heading again?  And then, with a sudden realization I had a loose end I needed to fix.  And as they say, if you pull a loose thread you might unravel the sweater.

So, from dinking around writing 500-1000 words at a time and mostly re-reading and treading water, I sat down and wrote 3,000 words.  THERE we go.  That’s how a story gets told.  Big chunks.

My target is 4,000 per day, but I haven’t quite made it to that yet.  I only had seven pies to make today so I intend on writing my four thousand or so help me!

I’m not really much of a blogger yet, but give it time.

At four thousand a day, that is a theoretical novel a month.  I think I can do that.  Really, the target is two per month, but I”m still working a day job so I have to have limits.

Customers are the strangest thing, sure, I like them.  But they are just odd.  This week I have had four different people say, “I hope you don’t sell.”

That is, by far, the worst thing you could say to someone. I always want to reply with, “I hope you fail at your life goals too!”  Or, “Yes, I hope I just get foreclosed on!”

Instead I ‘polite giggle’ and say, “Oh man, I am gonna miss this place when we do!”  It’s not a total lie.  It is quite possible to both love and hate the thing you are doing.
