Yet another email on this day of emails

I haven’t written in a while, huh? And what a day to pick. What’s been up:

  • Vapormage is on the shelves at Broadway Books, in Portland! Apparently, they’ll take books on consignment from time to time, which was kinda the only way I was going to get a book in a bookstore. It seems the “print on demand” stack that my book runs through makes it really iffy for bookstores. Wish I knew that. …Also kinda doubt there’s any avenue open to me as a no-name indie author that won’t have that problem, but shrug.

    • If you haven’t and are willing to, I will once again ask for reviews of the book wherever you would do that. It matters, and it’s one bit of promotion I absolutely cannot do myself.

  • There’s a Black Friday sale going on for Vapormage because of course there is. The ebook should be $3 everywhere, down from its standard $5. I’ll leave it up like that until Christmas.

  • I’ve pivoted to video, as the joke goes. (The joke is Facebook. Facebook is a joke.) What actually happened is, I’ve been seeing a therapist who’s been encouraging me to be less perfectionist about letting out creative energy. That way, I don’t go 6-8 years between output, y’know? So I vlogged a little trip I took, and I’ll keep trying to do little things like that. If you’re following my stuff just for the writing, you may be a little disappointed, but this is me doing this so all the themes and ideas will blur together anyway.

  • It will not surprise those who know me that I’m being screened for ADHD, which I kinda hope does come back positive, so I can get some help dealing with that, so I can get to doing and making more things that I want to.

…I don’t really have a thing to end this on. I guess, thanks to all of y’all who take any interest in the stuff I put out there, however chaotic and amateurish and scattershot it may be.

Cheers!
