Kiddo is home with flu-like symptoms, which means, in 2-3 days, I'll have flu-like symptoms.
And I am a straight up BABY when I'm sick. Be on the lookout for lots of complaining from me, soon!

I'm having one of those "burn it all to the ground" days. I feel like everything I create just sits there in the void.

Social media posts: also gets hate because it's mostly related to the YouTube channel
I sound like such a whiney bitch right now....

Sent a newsletter today to my mailing list about the struggles of being a self-published author.
I hate that less than 30% of people open my emails. Why'd you sign up then if you don't care?

It would have been so cool if at the end of THe Wizard of Oz, Dorothy swung her feet out of bed to get up and they zoomed in on the ruby slippers.
Then, even almost a hundred years later, we’d all still be debating “was it real or was it a dream?”

Just uploaded final PDFs, ePubs, and Covers to Amazon and Ingram and requested proofs from Amazon.
Am I cutting it close to the release in 18 days? Yes. Yes I am. I like to live on the edge.

I was looking for an app to take my full length YouTube videos and make a handful of reels out of various parts (they're drum covers, so where the video is cut isn't important).
They were all $20-$100 a month, which is out of my budget for just starting on YouTube.

Door Dash needs a way to report a driver for not being who they’re supposed to be.
That due that just dropped off my food was not Amanda and he probably didn’t have a background check like she did when she signed up.

"I never signed up for this list" being a reason for opting out should penalize the mailing list owner if enough people unsubscribe with that reasson. I don't think most mailing list providers care, though, unfortunately.

The fact that you can't report an account for impersonating a celebrity on @threads if the celebrity isn't on Threads is a shame. There's a lot of fake accounts of folks who aren't on this platform, but there's nothing we can do because we can't report them.
