I had family visit for the first time in a year-and-a-half, which was wonderful, but then of course I get a sinus infection and now have to wait for the results of a COVID test. I will be VERY surprised if the test is positive (get vaccinated!), but obviously it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially because I have to think about my mom. The visiting family is all testing, too, just because of time spent traveling and being around so many people.
(Just to PSA for a moment: In my extended family, four people got COVID pre-vaccine, and one of them died from it. At least sixteen have been vaccinated with no deaths or serious illness.)
Obviously I haven’t been too focused on book stuff. Today I started to look over the copy edits of Tribulations, but I quickly decided that (although I am feeling better) I was still a bit too sick to deal with it.
Instead I went on Amazon to double-check that A Dislocated World was leaving KDP Select. (I need to prep the e-book for Smashwords, but that’s also not going to happen today.) It was supposed to do that three months ago, but apparently re-enrollment is automatic, and they don’t bother to alert you or anything, so I missed it.
The book is supposed to leave KDP Select on the 19th, but then I realized that, since I hadn’t expected the book to re-enroll, I hadn’t thought to use the free days from the second enrollment! So I’m going to do the lazy & bad thing and just make it free without any marketing from the 16th to the 19th. Go get it if you want it!
