Doctor's Appointments and Book Writing

I've decided to divide my blog posts up a bit so that if you are interested in reading my personal stuff, you can check it out, but if you're only interested in reading about my book writing progress then you can skip through my personal stuff and check that out instead. It's going to look something like this:

Personal

I've decided to make a conscious effort to infuse more of my personality into my blog by writing about my life and my thoughts on various subjects. It will probably be a hodgepodge of both, since my life isn't particularly interesting.

I had another wonderfully soul sucking day at work. The only thing that keeps me there are my awesome co-workers, the fact that they let you use the internet, don't care if you miss days or come in late, and the fresh organic cafeteria food. Okay, okay, so it obviously has a lot of perks . . . but the fact of the matter is that the job itself, as in what I'm actually doing, sucks.

In other news, I finally reached the point of pain where if I have to live with it much longer I'll be jumping off of the Security Service parking garage and plumetting to my death gleefully, so I called the doctor and made an appointment for Monday, at which time I will be taking care of about 3 different medical issues in one visit. Isn't that always the case with poorish people? We wait until everything falls apart before we head to the doctor.

So, hopefully I can get on some pain meds, find out what's bothering my cyst and my back, and get on the proper thyroid medication. When you have thyroid problems . . . you're a bitch . . . and you don't lose weight . . . and then you're even more of a bitch because you can't lose weight . . . so then you get all depressed and eat a bunch and then bitch about how you ate a bunch because you were depressed because you can't lose weight. LOL Sounds fun, right?

Well, that's enough personal stuff and complaining for one afternoon.

Book Info

Today I will hopefully be getting a chance to add a few more pages to the next book in the Sunset High series, which is still on schedule for a mid-April release. I actually imagine that I will finish it up over the weekend and it will be going into editing phase sometime next week.

I still haven't abandoned the idea of redoing the covers on the series. There is obviously no coherency right now. But I'm thinking that I may wait and redo all of the covers after the series is complete. Whether I will do them myself or pay someone else to do them is still unseen, but I'm fairly sure I will end up spending a weekend learning Paint.net and do them myself. I've seen a lot of indie authors with super professional looking book covers. Unfortunately I haven't mastered GIMP enough yet to take it to that level. . . and I'm too cheap to buy Photoshop (which I actually know how to use because when I took graphic design in college that was the program I learned on).

So, that's that. The big news of the week however, is that:

Sunset High (Under Construction) will be having a FREE promo on the Kindle this Sunday on April 1st, 2012.
