THE EMPIRE
On The Hamster Wheel
Two queries, two rejections. And so it goes. Sent two more out. The quest continues. It's all good.
Today felt like there was a rip in the space/time continuum. Nothing really went right. And I felt a little weepy. Which, considering this time of year, is not really surprising. I wonder if I will ever get over the summer of 2008.
But, trying to look ahead and keep on trucking.

A book club purchased eleven copies of "Not Nice and Other Understatements" in March and today I received a message they were meeting tonight to discuss it and wanted to hook up via Skype to speak with me. I was flattered, flabbergasted and nervous. Unfortunately, there were technical problems and it didn't happen, but the woman who set it up told me she will contact me tomorrow to give me feedback. I think this is beyond fabulous. Apparently it sparked some heated debate. Also fabulous. It was meant to be disturbing, so it looks like Mission Accomplished. Heh.
I'm really interested in what they had to say.
The reviews on Amazon remain all 5 stars, which is gratifying. And some of them are from people I don't know. Heh.
Sales have been slow until recently -- they've picked up a bit and I'm really encouraged by that. I guess patience *is* a virtue.

I don't like to speak of clients usually, but I have had problems with two of them today which have really chapped my nuts. I don't understand people, I really don't. I'd just like to say to Client Number One, I have copies of every email I receive and send. So please, don't tell me I haven't answered yours when I have the email right frikken' here.
Client Number Two -- the situation is my fault because I gave you a second (and third) chance. Treating me like I'm stupid is not a smart move on your part. Oh, and your passive-aggressive shit ain't gonna fly, either. Buh bye.
And that's all I'm saying about that.
Thankfully, the good clients outweigh the problem clients.

I'm hoping when I wake up tomorrow it truly is Wednesday and not Monday dressed in Wednesday's clothes. 'Cuz I'm over that crapola.
