I'm not going to whine or make excuses for the long silence because...well, I know what the issue is (D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N) and I've talked about it ad nauseum before. So instead, we're going to talk about good things. Thing the first:
No bullshit. It's done. One reason for the long silence is I held off until I had it nice and in hand before plopping another countdown on you guy's lap. It's currently on preorder on Smashwords and the preorder for Amazon (!) should go live within the next 24 hours.
The blog shall have it's matching makeover shortly.
So there is that.
Second...I'm going to be trying to revamp all my priorities over the next few days and try--TRY--to get something like a fucking life back in order. Feedback from you guys is greatly appreciated.
I won't promise any book reviews; frankly my steam for Laurel K. Hamilton wore out a long time ago. I will, however, keep things going over here for as long as I can.
I have been down, my lovelies, severely severely down. But I am not out! And I don't plan on going out for a long while yet.
Peace out! (And get ready for book buying and things because yeah)
Tried to comment earlier but my mobile browser wouldn't let me. But now I have restored internet access! Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteAnyway - Yeah, I can see how plodding through LKH's extruded book-products would be a huge energy drain. If you want to move on to doing something less draining, by all means do so. I'd be fine if you just posted publishing updates and occasional bits of related news here. It's your blog, do as thou wilt and all that.
Good to see you back.
So sorry to hear that you went through a bad patch, but very happy to hear that you're coming up out of it! Hooray for being on the upswing!
ReplyDeleteI apologize for not checking in sooner, but I was in a similar mire.
I've been reading through your sporks of the LKH books and I was SO HAPPY to have found others who found what LKH turned the character Anita into... abhorrent? Disgusting? Ridiculous and yet filled with genuine WTFery? All of the above, I think. So thank you for the "AMEN!" and all the entertainment.
ReplyDeleteBut while reading through, I came across a bit of your writing that really struck me, in a good way. In an I'm still crying here but it's not bad crying kind of way. I wanted to explain and thank you but it's a bit personal for a comment. I wasn't able to find a link to send you an email. So maybe you could send me a quick note to my email? nicolenevermind76 (AT) gee mail dot com.
Also, hang in there with the Depression Beast. It's an asshole, and it lies to you. You're awesome. I took a vote and three out of my three hedgehogs agreed!
Take care
