NaNoNoNo
Okay, I admit it. I've fallen desperately behind in my novel writing for NaNoWriMo. In part, because I can't think of anymore to write, and in part because I've been dedicating hours to promoting DARKNESS AND THE DEVIL BEHIND ME on the Internet.
The better part of the last two days has gone toward designing an "Announcement Card." It's now done and has been sent off to about 150 friends and acquaintances.
I've also spent bucks on advertising on the African-American Literary Book Club site, bought an email campaign from some online company that promised to send out 4,000,000 emails and am in the process of trying to rejuvenate my page on Ning.
We'll see.
The next couple of days are full of appointments, some of them having to do with real estate, one with advertising the book.
Oh and yes, I finally received stock of my books yesterday. Two boxes were supposed to have been delivered. I had to run out for an appointment. When I returned home, I found a note from UPS saying that they had tried to deliver a package. I was furious because I knew that my mom was at home when they supposedly tried to deliver it, so I went upstairs and called UPS. I hate it when deliverers are too lazy to do their job, but claim to have done it. UPS apologized and said they'd have someone come back to deliver it the same day. Well, guess what? They didn't.
In the meantime, another UPS man had delivered the second box of books. I really appreciated that. I mean, the guy did his job. I know it isn't an easy job, but if you're gonna take it, then do it.
So I'm hoping the box that wasn't delivered yesterday will be delivered this morning. Again, I have to run out. But my mom's here and she's on the lookout. If I come back and find another note, some poor soul at UPS is going to get a very annoyed phone call.
Back to writing. It'll calm me down. I hope.
