alexandraerinNews For Today
Well, my personal financial outlook is really starting to look up. I had a couple of thoughts about how to make thenagbox financial incentivizer more annoying convenient but I decided to hold off on them. As much as I understand that working less equals earning less, I was a liiiiiittle concerned that things didn't seem to be turning around as I got back to work, but apparently I just needed to have a bit more faith in my readers while I worked to reward their faith in me.
Talking about mutual faith rewardance: I've heard from a few people who did not get the newsletter that went out on the 30th. In some cases it was in the spam folder, so if you don't have yours check there. I'm going to try to use simpler formatting and see if that doesn't fix it. If you put the newsletter email address (which is newsletter -at- alexandraerin -dot- com... note this is not an actual mailbox, so please don't send to it) in your Address Book/Contact List, for many providers that will act as a "white list" that flags it as not spam. If not, possibly your email client/provider has an actual "white list".
Then there were a couple of people who didn't get it through my error. Fear not! One of my projects for this week is to get the back issues up in a directory where subscribers can read them all. So even if you subscribed just this month, you'll be able to read the previous issues.
In less... glowing... news, I wasted my lunch hour arguing with someone for being Wrong On The Internet. Eh. At least it was only an hour. Even just a few months ago, this would eat up my whole day and more.
State of the Me
This continues to be a fairly ache-filled week for me, though things are getting better. I was up late last night, but it was more a matter of an "off" sleep cycle than actual insomnia. By the time I was tired and laid down, I slept well.
Plans For Today
Getting the newsletter back issue thing set up was a major goal, but it didn't take much time. I'm going to spend some time playing around with the presentation, but if nothing else I will make them available as a directory of text files tomorrow.
Today is the 2nd day of a writing cycle, so I'm going to be getting a start on chapter 36 and also doing some work on KDR. It occurred to me today that my weekly goal for that--1,250 words--is equal to 250 words every week day, so I think I might try that for a while. I'd be 250 words behind today, but of course I'm not saying "write 250 words and then stop". It's more a matter of looking at how far setting aside a little bit of time can take me.
