Couldn’t think of a title. I got a flu shot today. My first one ever. My arm kinda hurts. I finally gave in after 3 years of working in a clinic. I think I had the flu the first year. Fever. I looked like a dead waxy person. It was gross. And I felt like shit, but I was totally going to go to work anyway, but then I looked in the mirror and saw that dead waxy look and went back to bed. That’s funny. Screw how I feel, but if I look bad, back to bed! Lol. Anyway, they asked me to get one, so I did. Hmm. Not bad. Makes sense. I’m a fan of vaccinations. In spite of the apparent dangers. I mean, err, this is not a debate!

But seriously, it’s weird that I’m into vaccinations, cuz I’m such a natural healing/herbalism fan. You know? I’m a complex weirdo. Yes. And now my arm hurts. But I am protected against last year’s flu viruses! Woohoo! No, it was explained to me why I might be protected against this year’s too. It was all about flu traveling patterns, and you don’t want to know. Enough about flu! But, DUDE, I hate the cold and flu season. I haven’t been sick yet this fall, so woooohhoooo!

That was hyper. I’m in a good mood. I was going to work on my book cover today. Make one quick from scratch. Ha! Seriously, if I have to make it just a black background with gray letters, I will. It’s just for the sites that require it, like Google Books. Which I am going to attempt to upload it to. Pah. And I forget what else. Oh, Mobipocket lets you put a cover in there, so I thought I would. Yup.

So, all I have left with the book is making corrections from my last proofread, making a book cover, and…. let me get my list…. and converting the book to 3 ebook formats. The html one might be tricky. It’s like creating another website. OH, I have to write a blurb! But I sort of have one written. A first draft. But I have another 4 day weekend this week, so I should be all set to release the book on Sunday. Whoop!

I’m glad I didn’t release it yesterday, my site was down today. I think they moved it to new servers. Without warning me. Ouch. Not that I will have sooooo much traffic when I release this book, but… that’s why I don’t want to lose any visitors! Stay, people, stay!

I am having 3 problems. What to get people for Christmas, what to do with my “writing career”, and…. probably something more immediate having to do with the book, but I can’t remember. Gah! I made a video. It’s super awesome. I hope it looks good in all browsers. It’s pretty simple.

I’m leaning towards writing romances again. But my way, not some formulaic way. Cuz I was proofreading Fugue and I noticed I’m kinda good at that mushy romantic stuff. And apparently I like to write about princesses and rich people. Hey, I spend most of my days off sitting in a chair I bought for $10 that has springs poking me in the butt. So, yeah, I dream about people with lots of space and time. Money buys space and time. It’s awesome. Sigh….. Whatever! Back to reality. Oh, money also buys good sturdy comfortable chairs. I think that was the point of that mini-almost-rant. Heh.

Romance outsells any other genre of book. It’s like the porn of the non-porn world. What? You know what I mean. It’s like chocolate. Gross! Did I just compare porn to chocolate?! Blasphemy! Nothing compares to chocolate! But I digress. I have things to do. Want to get to them. Want to get this career thing off the ground. It’s almost ready to fly. I think romance might hurry it along more. But then I have the other book to type and edit, and an online soap I wanted to write. Cuz that’s awesome. But really, who will read the online soap until lots of people have read my books? Why am I discussing this in here? That is a good question. Cuz I think these things in my head all day, that’s why.

I swear the flu shot made me dizzy. But then I was already dizzy. And, really, what if it was just the idea of the flu shot that made me dizzy? Ahhh, a conundrum.

My hair’s too long, I need to cut it. Will do after the book is out. Then I get to relax. Which means clean my house. And cut my hair. And worry about what cool presents to get for under $5. YEAH. Not good. I’m getting a raise in my next paycheck, though. Whoopie! Okay, anyway.

I ate Indian food the other day. WOW is that spicy. I could still feel it hours later burning my esophagus. Yikes! I should have chased it with some bread. Next time. Yeah, notice that won’t stop me from eating it again. Ha!

Wow, I’m in a good mood. The Guild season 2 starts tomorrow! Whoop! I can’t wait. But it won’t be on YouTube. I hope MSN Video is nice to me. :) We’ve never met before. Lol.

Damn my good mood! I have a 3 day work week. Eeep! Yes! My book is coming out, everything is good. I’m so excited to be done with that book finally. Yeesh. Hey! I should let you watch the preview video for it. Let me see if I can do that. I’m gonna upload it to YouTube the day I release the book. I know, why not before, right? I don’t know. Because people are impulsive and if the book’s not there to download right then they may have moved on by the time it is, see? Something like that. ADD. Something! Hmm. Okay. I’m going to give you a link to where the video will be as soon as I upload it. Here it is. (Music by Kevin MacLeod, btw. “Harmful or Fatal.” Fitting!)

Now I’d better go upload the darn thing! Adios! Godspeed! Watch The Guild! Spay and neuter your pets! Okay, that last one I just threw in there. Go watch my video!

Later. :)
