Jim Webster, (In On a Chance! )

Actually, to create the correct ambiance I leave it wrapped in an old bar towel for a while.
Could I please have mine mature in a vat of Brandy?
Are we making cheese in here?
Rind-washed kindles Patti

David wrote: "Good going Jim; maybe do an arena tour, and sell even more. I sold two last month; none, as yet, this month."David, not wishing to gloat but my October was bumper. I sold as many books then as I had in the previous three.... Which was still only 3 books. All stateside. None in the UK. Mwahahahahaahrgh.
Thank you but please, nobody rind wash my kindle.
That Mary loves a sticky bit of rind.

Well I suppose the curtains aren't burning. Glad your sales have started up again, I always feel that whilst they're selling there is still the chance of optimism :-)
You are optimistic about becoming optimistic?Right...
I've only had one month with no sales at all (I think), so I remain optimistic, slightly, somewhat, sometimes.
I hope you didn't just jinx yourself.
More bad months will serve to make the slightly better ones look better still :~)
That's my glass half full outlook for the day.

Yep, I'm positive that things have been worse so improvement is still possible :-)
The only way is definitely up from where I'm standing. I haven't checked my sales figures yet. That said I am concentrating on finishing the w.i.p. I've three quarters of it done and doing the read through of what I've done over half term I find a lot of it has reached the stage when it feels like reading a really quite decent book that someone else wrote. So that's a good sign.
Thumbs up for a finish before Christmas, is it?
What else would we want to read over the holiday, Jim?
Exactly. Mind you, at the moment Gingerlily is illustrating
for me over on my Facebook wall, so might be worth nipping across and having a look :-)
I've put it on my 'Not released yet' wishlist Jim.
I can't get facebook at the moment. It's all alright until I try to access my Hamgee University Press page. Then it goes tits up and I never see it again. I shall have to try and find out if it thinks I've been naughty. Not sure where to start.Cheers
MTM
You mean you've been naughty in so many different ways you're not sure which one it's spotted?
I've posted on your page and I can access the Hamgee page
I can see them all.A mate was having trouble with her blog and it turned out to be her browser, if that helps
I can't get it to work on the iPad or the laptop. 4 different browsers. Ho hum.
Just to say the https://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSecto... has been updated again. More holiday locations for you.
It is not my place to tell discerning adults what they can and cannot do in the privacy of their own homes, and apparently some do like things to be mollusc free. I know, different strokes for different folks......
Just thought I'd mention that we have fine dining in the Border Kingdoms.https://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSecto...
Just to say that I've finally thought my way through a problem. The hero has to get from A to B. He needs a lift. Problem is he has to get from the outside of a space station to a planet in a different system. I knew who HAD to give him a lift but I couldn't work out why they would.Anyway after three or four weeks ostentatiously ignoring that particular book, I've finally got the answer and can now storm on :-)
I had a similar problem. Someone who had to not do something, but I couldn't think of a reason why they wouldn't. Like you, I had to just forget about it for a few weeks; magically, it sorted itself.
Thanks for that GL. Yes it's one of those things, like David said where 'because that's what the plot needs' is just not good enough. I couldn't just gloss it over and have it happen.Walking away and doing something else can work wonders :-)
And now a review for The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting Morehttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Charles Dickens and Katherine Mansfield no less!
Isn't Katherine Mansfield that chick from the 50s with really big hooters?
Patti (baconater) wrote: "Isn't Katherine Mansfield that chick from the 50s with really big hooters?"Nah, you're thinking of Mansfield Park - Once home to England's largest flock of whooper swans - hence your confusion.
I think I know who Patti was thinking about.Jane Mansfield.
