You know how, some days, your brain doesn't brain? That day is today.

Really wish I could get over this cough. When I don't move, it's fine. The moment I start walking, I start hacking up phlegm. So not fun. At least not moving around yesterday helped.

Trying to get over a hacking cough and get words down. Being ill for so long means my writing tracker says I need to do 4k days without fail to hit my minimums. Not going to happen. Ugh.

Wow! What an amazing weekend. Still so very impressed by everyone and everything at the Toronto Indie Author Conference.

Here you go!

Back at Toronto Indie Author Con (TIAC) and listening to Zoe York talk. Always interesting hearing different viewpoints from successful authors. So much in common, so much that's different.

Spotted in the wild! The First Step at Barnes and Noble in Lexington KY (Hamburg location). If you see the book at your local bookstore, I'd love to get more of these!

Just wanted to celebrate this. We have 500 pre-orders for Immortal Connections on Amazon. This is not including the books sold on Kickstarter and on Starlit Publishing too. The epic Chinese high fantasy sequel to A Thousand Li is off to a great start - starlitpublishing.com/products/imm...

The rise of far-right authoritarianism just got kicked in the nads. Hard. Viktor Orbán, a puppet master of the rise of the far-right, just lost the election in Hungary. Everyone who cares about the rise of the far right should care about this — but shouldn’t get complacent. Here’s why:

For the first time in days, I'm able to sit up and focus a little to answer emails and get some work done. Fever is still running but controlled by drugs. Antibiotics are on day 4 of dealing with the strep throat. Not going to do much but getting some stuff done and off the plate is good.

Pain levels today are relatively low, but I think between how bad it was last night, exhaustion from not sleeping well and the overcast day, I'm just mentally drained. Not sure how much work is getting done today.

I wonder, do people like this get wholesale discounts from the tailor that makes the red flags they fly?

Opened up my Word, found out I lost all my work yesterday night. 2k words. Gone. Not even an April fools joke. Ugh. Frustrating.

Not an April Fool's, unless it's one enacted by my computer. Lost all the work I did last night. Every word. 2k words. Just eaten by the ether. No recovery files. Backup didn't backup. Didn't save properly even though I always hit save and even closed Word properly. Gone.
