Tomorrow is all school, dentist, and more emails… youu hoo!

These days are increadibly busy, and while I feel like I continue to fall behind, I am accomplishing alot.

Got The Last Incarnation finally to iTunes today… finally as in less than 90 days from launch, but it feels like forever. Also got alot of material into iTunes from the bookstore as well.

It looks like the transition from Tunecore to CDBaby will probably take most of the year. It only makes sense to go ahead and let each album run it’s course before shifting it over, and some of the albums don’t renew until November, so there you go. I am curious if having them run through a different aggregator increases sales. One of the benefits of CD Baby I have seen so far is that they are far more active in keeping their store list up to date.

Amazon continues to humm right along, generating sales without interruption. Barnes and Noble also is having a great month, and I was hoping to see us break some sales recods for January- we have already, but there was a pretty aggressive one I still want- and I think I can get. I have rediculous 1400 emails piled up…

lots to edit on the video side, and I have to find 16 players for a board game I am hosting at a gaming tourney. should be interesting.

School, both classes are in full swing, not particularly fond of either class right now, I hope that changes soon.

 

Really not much happening here, except working hard on promotion and new products…more later.

Busy day today, but the results are slow…

Emails at 1080

More tomorrow…

 

Email count is 1,006, officially crisis mode…

Some group of spammers thought it was cool to send me product “Questions” about some BCM stuff- why do they even bother?

Great day otherwise, got January Newsletter Out the Door, will cover a bunch of Poetry stuff, and a laundry list tomorrow… would love to see a great bounce in stats tomorrow…

lots of book stuff to follow up on and lots of editing to do as well. Lots of nebulousness apparently…

Oh, I did send one story to editing today, and really kicked forward on a second, hoping to have 3 done by the end of the week… ok, bye..
