Oh no, Jaya and Variel are facing off against each other! Please vote for one of them because I can’t pick.

I had a feeling that would happen. I picked Jaya.

[blablover5]

Tomorrow is when I'll be super annoying and begging for votes. I hate that I have to ask everyone every day or they drop out.

[blablover5]

Jaya’s in the finals! This is the absolute last time I’ll ask people to vote for her. Please! http://brackify.com/bracket/35161/OWS-C ... ter-Battle

[RJDiogenes]

Eh, don't worry about asking. I'm happy to vote, especially for Jaya.

And I just learned that they changed whoever was hosting the bracket so my character getting that far doesn't even matter. Now there's a whole different one. AH!!!! I am never doing this con again. It was so much work for no gain.

I finished the re-write of Murder the World. Preliminary word count comes in at 112,906 words, up from the 80,000 or so it had been.

[RJDiogenes]

Whoa, that's almost a 50% increase.

Wow, they really shouldn't switch horses in mid-stream like that, or boats in mid-racetrack or however that goes. What's the new link?

[blablover5]

It doesn't matter, it's too late. I'm tired of this mess.

I wanted to add more detail and flesh out the plot more. I'll take a break to clear my head, then start going through the book again.

I've decided to try publishing Dwarves in Space through Direct2Digital and, I have to say, it is really nice. I'll still probably go directly through Amazon for my books, but D2D is a great option when I want to go universal.

[Lupine]

Direct2Digital does look promising, though I'll have to look into it more to be sure- as it does sound almost a little too good to be true.

Meanwhile I put in some work on a novella currently titled Severance Pay.

Aw, that's too bad.

Cool. Let me know when it's ready. I'd like to read the fleshier version.

That does look pretty good for expanding access.

I like their affiliate program. We could all refer each other and make some extra money.

Honestly, I think they're the go-to for people trying to free themselves from Amazon's clutches. Lots of people are using them.
