Thank you, Alex, Sam, and Carole! I am glad I finally had some time to research various publications.

Submitted to some publications for the first time. **Fingers crossed**

Congrats. It has been a long time for me too. I used to always count on my more technical articles being distributed, but not recently. I figured it was because I haven't been consistently posting, but maybe they are more picky or have more to choose from.

I really enjoyed that one, Dale!

Luckily, my dog doesn't mind storms. Which is a good thing. I don't think I would have had as much appreciation for a 90 pound dog on my back too! Haha!

I have been away from Medium for a while...sorry. Life has been crazy and I haven't had time. I started catching up on articles yesterday and hope to have everyone caught up by tonight/tomorrow morning. I need to make sure I have read all yours, Sam, but wanted to send you hugs. Here is my latest:

Same here. A lot of them want me to send my book as a PDF. I'll pass. Too many pirates out there.

Congrats on your increase in sales, Anna!
Alexis, I hope you are able to have a much needed, relaxing weekend!
Simi, I am sorry to hear you have been having a rough time lately. Hoping things turn around soon for you.

Congratulations to everyone with recent releases!

Alex-resent. Hopefully it goes through this time. *fingers crossed* Thank you so much for everything you are doing to help get the word out about our books!

I am filing as a sole proprietor so that may be the case.

I use a tax preparer for my taxes, but I try to understand most of what he is doing. We file 2 separate Schedule Cs every year. One is for my T&E Treasures business and the other is for my author work. If I lose money 3 years in a row (over a 5 year period), then my author status would change to a hobby instead of a business. I would then file a schedule E. I found schedule C has better options for business write-offs.
It sounds like you don't have many (if any) expenses to claim or inventory to track with your writing, which is what Part II and III record, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Thank you, Sam! Return hugs!

I started a new Facebook page with my pen name and would love some follows! Thanks in advance!
