Paperback Panic

Written by

When I grow up, I’m gonna be a MIC (Military–Industrial Complex) and a love song.

Once again, it rained men, and I got there late, so mine are handicapped. They were impaled on a fence post, and the other landed back-first on a fire hydrant. I don’t feel desperate enough to keep them.

If you don’t want your rainman you can exchange them for cash at the depawn shop. What happens after? IDK.

Unwanted rainmen may be exchanged for cash at participating depawn shops.

I hope we can plan better for the next manrain, like get a bunch of bouncy trampoline-type castles. Something soft for them to land on. Maybe they come in a localized downburst. Hopefully, I won’t be late next time.

There’s no such thing as a good handicap. This isn’t golf.

Guess what! I have good news and I have gooder news, which one you want first? Alright!

I got my Library and Archives Canada account. Today I put in for my Troll and Ballerina ISBN. Paperback version. Even with my most recent bout of vertigo, I couldn’t wait to sign up. OMG.

I’m nervous, excited, worried, scared. Like this shit is happening. You know!? Next, I gotta get a barcode, order another proof from Amazon. Once that’s good, I’ll publish it. Update my IngramSparks account and start contacting schools with my education package. OMG!!!

Once that’s done, I will start illustrating my second children’s book. OMG3!!!

Second news! Both boys are working. Matt’s only working weekends in customer service, and Dre is still washing dishes and getting his high school diploma. Yay!

Also, I’ve been downsizing. I finally got rid of my king bed (tired of waiting for my king), and I’m getting the Rogue Echo Rower. That’ll be my morning workout before I start writing.

Fall outta bed
Row
Write
Shower (if I feel like it)

I haven’t added anymore to my novel.

If you been wondering where I been, I was trying to update my site with the latest WP Twenty Twenty-Five theme. It’s been a fuckin’ nightmare. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no full site editing, and I don’t care to learn.

Part of the reason I need to change is that my infinite scroll stopped working. Although I really like my Chaplin theme, it’s more than seven years old, shit’s just gonna keep breaking.

Anyhow. I’ll keep looking till I find a theme that works without all the setup headache. Just fuckin’ work, WordPress! Jesus!
