Word Whore Thursday
I’m over at Word Whores today, talking about small indulgences. Also, I’m sorta whining about my 11th birthday, but hey, at least I’m honest about my motivations. I’m also over at Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind, talking about world building. Aside from that, I’m home sick again today. (Working from home, but definitely too messed up to drive anywhere). Works out okay because I had a chunk of siding blow off the house this weekend and now I can be here to have someone come put it back on. Which is good because when the wind blows it sounds like a small train is about to come hurtling through the kids’ bathroom. (About four am, I wake up and fine one or both kids in bed with me because the noise is freaking them out.) I have managed to get my faery costume in order for the RT ball, however,…

Saturday Ramblings
Of course, the problem with having such an awesome and incredible week is that you eventually have to come back down to reality. My reality is that wearing heels for eight hours on Tuesday has led back into a massive pain cycle. Whee. Thank the gods for lidocaine patches, is all I can say. Nothing like a little numbing action to take the edge off. It’s still not quite right but at least I don’t want to jump out the window anymore. Ironically, even though it hurt the next few days afterwards, the pain is in a different place than it usually is – so in a sick sort of way it actually felt good, because the normal pain areas were getting a break. If that makes any sense. But by Friday night all bets were off. Today is tolerable and I’ll take that. Can’t get into the doctor’s until…

Friday Ramblings
First thing today is a massively huge squee to my friend Bluenail (aka the Ninja Knitter), who sent me these fabulous hand-made arm socks. (or fingerless wrist-warmers, whichever). They are so soft and pretty and *warm*. I’ve been begging for a set of these since I’ve known her and now I get to cackle with glee every time I look down at my hands. *cackle* So, there we go. Otherwise, I am blogging over Sci Fi Chick today about Brystion and a little bit on romancing an incubus, so feel free to stop on by and ask a few questions if you like. Oh and for a bit of random amusement, apparently my book was selected by Mark Henry as part of his “Read a book in one day” challenge. He likes my smutty cover, so we’ll see how well that goes.…

Swag-ger
In anticipation of next week, I finally caved in and bought a bunch of swag from Ninth Moon. Not a huge amount, and not stuff I really plan on giving away in large quantities. The “Signed by Allison” stickers were a no-brainer, since I’m already getting requests for signed copies of BoD. I also got a sheet of little round stickers with the cover and some note-pad sheets (really just to have something nice to write little notes on, go figure!). Between that and the ton of bookmarks I still have left over I should be good. I wasn’t entirely sure about the rest of it – things like book plates and pens *seem* cool, but right now it’s more of an expense than I feel like doing. Although I have had some requests for swag (mostly in the form of bookmarks, which I’m happy to mail out), I don’t…

Organization
I had a different post planned for today, but Blogger just ate it. Which irritates me, hence the picture. (And it’s a good fit for my muse this week too, honestly.) At any rate, the original finely crafted piece was about my complete and utter lack of any ability to organize anything. Hell, one might argue that if I were more organized I would have written the original post in Word or something, but I’m a blog-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda girl, I guess. So now that we have proof that I’m an unorganized idiot, we’ll just move right along into something else – namely my marketing plan, or lack thereof. (I’m spotting a trend here.) I’m hitting the moment in time where I really have to start thinking about how I’m going to get the word out about my book. It’s almost like a perfect vacuum of sorts- but I have to be careful.…
