Yay! Now I need to go around begging for reviews. I'm so bad at this.

^Not as bad as me! :lol:

Time Immemorial has yet to receive any reviews. And most of Alfheim's have not been kind (what few there are).

I've been so bad about marketing this one. I keep hoping I'll get the gumption from somewhere.

Yep, DIS2 appeared for me, too. And I was reminded that I never re-installed Kindle on my PC after all my stuff got wiped.

I didn't do one? Crap, I thought I did. I'll do it this weekend.

I'll do one. Hopefully. Unless I go completely senile.

Speaking of denouements, I pretty much at that with Diaspora now.

^I know the feeling.

Got some good writing in yesterday... however I'm not sure I like what I got and will probably re-write.

Yup, I got the reviews for Time Immemorial and Dwarves In Space II up today. I could have sworn I did Time Immemorial before, but I could find nothing in my archives.

blab, it looks like they did the same thing to you that they did to me: Confused the sequel with the original. All of the reviews from the first book are there under the second book. I hope my new review didn't replace the original review under the first book. :loopy:

^How did the confusion happen? :conf:

Got into a bit of a roll today working on Diaspora.

Thanks grapey! I need to go beg for some but I'm at a weird place with that book for no good reason. Someone inject me with happy.

Amazon is batshit. I hope getting ones for 2 will replace the dumbass move by Amazon.

They just can't seem to tell similar titles apart. Which is not a good thing when you're in the business of selling books.

You'd think the different ISBNs would tip them off, but no!

I finally finished Diaspora. :as:

Came in at 103,000 words but that will likely change during editing and re-writes. The book is probably a mess as I stopped part way through due to dad's illness and death. But for now I rest.
