@SeraDrake Thank you for thinking of me, but I don't have the bandwidth. Unless someone can submit for me, LOL.

Happy new Year. 
          I just went to bed early and was woken by fireworks and family shouting.  I took a break from Wattpad, Youtube, and Instagram. 
          
          Right before Christmas, I made the front page of Inkspired.
          I published a collection of poetic microfiction.
          And decluttered.

JankyFluffy

@katiegoesmew Decluttering is a pain, but I need to get it done.  I was shocked by the front page. You can use credits or pay money to be featured, but I didn't.  They decided my books were worthy.  Several of my books made it. I did use my credits to promote my most popular books this week.  However, you must be verified by an employee to promote your books with credits.  I thought it'd be cool to promote my books on New Year's.

@JankyFluffy Congrats on making the front page! And publishing that collection. And decluttering. I need to do a lot of that...

I am taking a Wattpad, Instagram, and maybe a Youtube break for awhile.  
          I hopefully will still be on Inkspired.

Share your good news. 
          
          Conform or Suffer: A Paranormal Retelling is now #3 in Fantasy on Inkspired. 
          Thanks to everyone who has supported me. 
          It's a special feature.

@JankyFluffy Congratulations! My good news is that despite a couple of days when I couldn't write, it looks like I may still hit 50k words by the end of this month. :D

@JankyFluffy Understandable and agreed. I remember I read a book on Wattpad tips back when first starting out here years ago. It claimed that once your book is marked complete that the reads take off, but that's definitely not the case. My reads didn't move at all, no different to when it was ongoing. 
          
          Yeah, I can see using AI for grammar and art stuff, but for those generating ideas or more should be separate from other books.

Ruthie is Falling Backwards has reached 26K reads and Unintentionally Married by Magic has reached 18K and is two reads from 19K. If you haven't read it. It's on Inkspired. I am working on Book two of Unintentionally Married by Magic which I hope to start publishing in December or Jan. I am line editing and proofing. It will never be perfect without a  2k editor, but this is one of the first books I wrote which is mostly self-edited. So, I should be thrilled I was able to put this out.  The  beta reader fell through. It's weird. I feel it's better than Muses and Conform or Suffer and those books had real editors. 
          
          I don't think I finalized any Amby awards this year but send congrats to your friends.  It's okay, one of the books finalized last year.  And the other version of Conform or Suffer finalized a couple years back.
          
          
          Does anyone want me to keep Saving the Damsel and Conform or Suffer a paranormal retailing up.  I plan to repost Saving the Damsel on royal road, but I don't do well on RR. Though, my reads are rising.

@Aravis-Brightspell I am supper excited. :-) :-) I am editing book to of my Married by Magic series.

@angeldawn09 I am super excited about this.  Not all the books have gone viral.  Ruthie was a shock and I didn't have high hopes.  It had 350 reads on Wattpad.

Wattpad is a place I cross-post. I am an adult woman with two now-adult children. Most of my early readers of my romance novels are men. I feel my writing is too quirky and weird for Wattpad. 
          
          There are days I feel like giving up writing! Today is not that day.  My inner critic is calling me a whiny baby and telling me I just need to create more. 
          I made a copy/mistake which led to a bad review. My fault. It seems to happen when I am copying my books from Reedsy or Google Docs.  But it was my fault and no one else. 
          I checked before I published. It must have happened, when I was fixing a small typo. 
          The typo would have been better. 
          Then I found formatting errors I didn't cause in a book I am publishing and a couple I published. 
          And I also have to deal with sites removing the paragraph spacing and the spacing together. 
          But I will stop promoting and crossposting Muses, Mishaps, and Murder! I love the book, but it doesn't do as well as my other cozy dystopian novellas. It's not as good as I think it was. No, the problem was the old version was fine, and I wrecked it trying to appease beta feedback.  I created a new wattpad file with a copy edit mistakes. I am going back to the old version.  The old version was an Amby Finalist. But fixing things made it worse. 
          It's too quirky, too cozy, too oddball.  It's hard giving up on a book I love, but it's half 
          
          I wish more serialized book companies and webnovels would allow full books to be uploaded, and it's absolutely possible.   
          I plan to write a new adult full-time for maybe 4 more years. My goal is to go part-time. But only if a big dream happens.
          It depends on when and if a dream comes true. But I am already going part-time on Wattpad and Royal Road.  I plan to cross-post Saving the Damsel, but not my popular books.

@JankyFluffy some times I worry I will not get some of my books finished in time but then I just remember to focus on what I am writing and working on.

@SeraDrake  Hope you find the time.  Don't beat yourself up.  You can't magically make more time.  If you could, you'd be rich.  My brain is toast right now.  I am mostly editing novellas I wrote when I had time over the summer. The books I spent 7 years or more on are not as good as the books I took three months to 2 years on.   Time wise, I only want 4 years to write full-time.  I want to do more family things.  And it doesn't mean I won't stop writing but the works will be shorter. Right now, it's just novellas. Novels take too much time to edit. They aren't as fun.  My daughter beta reads my book.

@JankyFluffy - I'm months behind on _What Is Told: A Conglomeration of Confabulations_ (the non-spicy book I'm publishing so my kids can read something I've written without being traumatized for life by descriptions of intimacy). Brutal work/commute schedule. I'd wanted to get it finished and launched by the end of September, and at this rate, I'll be lucky to get it done by the end of December. So much for my "one book per calendar year" target.
