A Not Quite As Satisfying Day

I had another vendor fair today. It wasn't the success that yesterday was. My grand total of books sold today was.... (drum roll)... 2. That's right. We sat there for five hours and I sold 2 books and GBB sold 0. Not very satisfying. We had such high hopes for today's fair. It was at Pulaski Middle School so we thought there'd be middle schoolers in the crowd who would buy GBB's books. Nope. Traffic was light and none of the kids we managed to snag wanted her books. Disappointing. And the batteries in my fairy lights around the new release book are fading. The lights just aren't as bright anymore. Good thing they came in a 6-pack. Now if I could just remember where I put the other 5.

 

The only other thing I did today was read through the critique pages for tomorrow and then keep reading version 2 of my current manuscript because that's what I'll submit to the Novel Intensive Group I've signed up for that begins April 1. I want to have things as tidy as possible. The big thing I did today was slot in this half-page of a scene where Rose finds out that the police have a suspect in the murder of one of her guests. It was a challenge to figure out where to put it. I didn't want it too early or after the original suspect left the island since, just like on TV, she was told not to leave the island.

 

Because I didn't paint or draw or knit today, I'm posting another one of the ChatGPT images that KM sent me last week. Like I said, I'm not sure what to do with them but I like them. Even though they were made by AI, which I'm very suspicious of.

 

I am thrilled that I don't have to set an alarm to get up before it's light in the morning. That was the hardest part of the past two mornings, that annoying musical phrase that passes for an alarm on my phone. Also getting up in the dark. Ugh. I'm so spoiled by not having to get up early anymore.
