Too much work, too little time. The day job was good, or at least good enough - I still feel perennially behind, but then, it's easy to feel perennially behind when your boss is telling you to take it easy and not burn yourself out while you're ignoring his advice and secretly plotting to overthrow the entire publishing industry. I'm running into my 'count to millions' problem again, which means my personal goals and what I expect of myself are wildly above and beyond what others expect of me. Stupid, I know, since life would be a lot easier if I could be satisfied counting to ten. Perhaps I shall work on this...
...or perhaps I shall do what I did today, which was stay at the office until six-thirty, leave to gorge myself on Chipotle, and then drive home, where I worked for three solid hours on Sara Ramsey stuff. I wanted to get out another newsletter + giveaway (this time to choose the covers for Prudence's book - you can see them by clicking on sararamsey.com if you're so inclined). And I wanted to do it immediately, since I hadn't sent a newsletter since March and I don't want my mailing list to go more stale than it already is. So, I drafted the newsletter, set up the Rafflecopter for the giveaway, saved the potential covers, wrote the blog post, and scheduled everything to start running...and now I'm exhausted. And I have to get up in less than seven hours to start the whole shebang again. But my uptick in marketing is clearly paying off, judging by my improved rankings on Amazon...so there's no rest for the wicked. Or, in my case, no rest for the Puritanical.
And on that note, I must sleep so that I can slog hard tomorrow, come home, and pack for Texas. Goodnight!
