Very first, thank you to Eric W. Trant for playing my game yesterday. While he was the only person who humored the whim, I also really liked what he wrote. Now I have this image of these two very different characters in my head and their interraction and…none of that stuff that happened when we did this in high school. So as thank you and an award for an awesome contribution, I will tell you go read and follow is blog (if you don’t yet). I’m pretty sure I’ve already learned three new cuss words today, and that they will come in handy on Monday. But it’s good reading aside from that, too.
So, I wrote that subject header up there like five minutes ago, and I honestly have no idea what I was going to say. My idea has completely poofed and evaporated and I am without witicism. I know that I’m running statistics at work right now. That’s what I do. I poll the numbers to see what people’s shopping habits are and to help companies figure out how to get them to spend even more.
Which reminds me. My Hansel and Gretel story will be up in Enchanted Conversation by the end of the month. My second (and highest) ever paying published short story ^_^ I’m pretty sure I can’t retire off the profits, but it does mean I can splurge on coffee and dinner over the weekend.
Oh, here’s a statistic for you. I heard this the other day. Supposedly, there are only 250 authors in the US who make their living writing only fiction novels.
I suspect there’s more to the story than that, there’s always more to the story when it comes to statistics. Did you know you can tell fascinating stories with numbers? It’s true. But only if you’re a good story teller. Which reminds me…I should see about finishing my edits on my novella today. I would love to call it ‘complete’ before November ^_^
Anything you’d like to wrap up before November comes and your new shiny consumes your soul for the next month?
