Free Book Day
The free book day went amazingly yesterday. In all, 450 copies of Aristeia: Revolutionary Right were downloaded. It reached as high as 570 overall in the free category and #17 in the sci-fi free category. Someday, maybe it will get that high in the paid category.
While I made no money on it, that’s 450 more people who will read my book that wouldn’t have before. And that’s the most important thing. Making people aware of the book. If even 1% of those people leave a review and 10% like the book enough to recommend it to a friend, it will go a long way to spreading the word.
Bathroom Upgrade
Fixing the bathroom stalled yesterday. I cleared some more grout and caulk, but when I tried to apply new grout, I screwed up the mixing process. It was to runny, and trying to use it just resulted in a mess. So I get to try again today.
On a related note, we’ve been using the other shower (which never gets used) while I’ve been doing this, and it started leaking. I was really annoyed and concerned, but after some investigation, it looks like it’s run-off from the wall and tub edge that are slanted poorly. A new caulk layer and a lip at the edge should fix it. Or a rag rest there to absorb the water does the trick for a jury-rigged fix.
Weight Loss Program
Started exercising again now that we’re adapting to the babies schedule. Still not eating any better, just making whatever we have the energy and time for. But it’s something.
