Apparently signed ebooks are a thing. Wondering if I should offer this in my Etsy shop. Do people buy them? What about people who already have an ebook?

I'm really, really trying to keep my timeline positive, but I was let down on something that could have given my book a sizeable boost. I'm sad and bitter.
Hmm, some good things to compensate:
- I sold an ebook yesterday.
- The latest ep of My Hero Academia was epic.
- ...yeah that's all I've got.

If there’s a theme to Reborn in Ash, it’s that Ada doesn’t understand what “home” is. It’s not a building or the memories it holds. It’s family, especially the one that finds you along the way.

Just saw an anthology offering $20 max for up to 10k words. I get it. Pressed have to start somewhere.
What’s not ok is them wanting “first print and continuing exclusivity rights”
DO NOT GIVE UNENDING EXCLUSIVITY TO YOUR WORK

Husband is finally home after having to get 2 buses because a taxi was an hour delayed + they took 20 mins to tell him. Which he needed to take because our car failed its MOT and is still at the garage. Extra stuff today: AM school run, 2x getting scooter in and out, and getting kids their dinner.😭🥄

I should be editing, but we had a busy weekend so the ol' ME/CFS is kicking in. Plus Husband is in the office today so I had to do the morning school run. Getting my mobility scooter out/in uses too many spoons, need to do it again later + make dinner. Might nap. Might watch Wednesday. Might edit.

Dreamt that I got to hang out with @wombat37.bsky.social which was awesome even though it looked nothing like him and I doubt he sets out place settings like a 5-star restaurant. So many spoons to pick from 😭

Had a family get together. Sold a book to Husband’s cousin who I haven’t had a chance to see in too long. Ended up doing the worst signature ever. 😅 I really need to practise more but my hand never moves how I tell it to.

6yo's school just sent an email reminding us to send our kids in if their only symptoms are a minor cough, runny nose, or sore throat.
It's taking all my willpower not to reply with, "Chronically ill parents thank you for your lack on consideration."
