As a published crime writer I'm going to post what it's like to be a professional writer, the good and the bad days, writing and not writing.

Materials Ready But Am I?
The scans have arrived. Truthfully they arrived over a week ago. I looked at one and tried to format a page. I've forgotten everything. I found a book that describes the steps. Now I know except for one thing. And I'm calling a friend to tell me what to do about that.
There are three books to do. I don't know when I'll start. Maybe Thursday. Maybe next Monday. Not starting on the weekend. Now that I'm retired I still obey weekends. It's crazy. Sometimes during the week I have to look at the paper to see what day it is.This isn't alarming. Lot's of retirees do this.
Before I work with the scans I want to put up another of my eBooks free for a day. This worked well when I did it before with other books. But I don't do it. I keep putting it off. You don't simply say it's free and sit back. You have to publicize it and that's the part I hate. I guess that's what I'll do on Thursday. Going out tomorrow. It's sounding more and more like I won't get to working on the scanned book before Monday.
I got a new novel from the library and I want to read it. No time for work.

New Books
I've sent 3 more books to be scanned so I can turn them into eBooks. I've gotten a lot of new readers with the eBooks I have already put up for sale. My books are all ones I've had published and the new 3 will be, too.
The scans haven't come back yet but they will soon. I'm going to take it slow but I'll post when they go live.

Plans Change
It's been awhile but during that time I slowly changed my plans stated below. I'm not going to put up the novel, Beautiful Rage. It's not as good as the novels I've already put up as eBooks. So why do it? I thought I'd pick another book but then it seemed like a lot of work and I don't feel like it right now.
I'm not going to post chapters of a work in progress either. Why would I? A work in progress implies that I want to progress and I don't.
