Sales Report: February

Summary: Sales down a bit from January, but not by much. Things were brightened by brisk sales of Shadow of Her Sins, which reached a respectable ten copies in the Amazon US store despite being released in the middle of the month.

Unfortunately my attempt to use KDP's discount promotion tool on Captive of the Red Vixen and Shadow of the Red Vixen to promote the release of Sins was a bust, resulting in no signifigant uptick in sales. Actuallly they were lower than usual.


Things to Do: Trying to poke at Science Fiction Cinderella. Initial attapt at a first draft stalled again due to top-heavy exposition. Debating whether to try and put together an omnibus edition of the Red Vixen adventures like I did the Dragon's Companion books, but I may want to wait until Legacy is finally written.

FYS: J.J.'s Diary

Had a bit of a Eureka moment in the shower, so I decided to write this down. As with most of my spontaneous writing projects this will likely amount to nothing, but I'm going to try to add to it regularly and see if it leads anywhere.

Happy New Year!

Hi, my name is Jillian Margaret Johnson, but everyone calls my J.J. This is my diary. A real one, like you read about in historical fics. I had to order it from a specialty printer that makes something called “Moleskin” books for artists, except this one is lined so you can write in it.

I'm writing in cursive, which is different from block letters like you read in text. It's what Grandma says everyone wrote in when her grandmother was a little girl, before the Internet was invented. She said everyone had to learn it in school, but it fell out of style because it was easier to type. I can understand that! Cursive is sorta secret writing now, because nobody does it, except I found an app for my phone that teaches you how to do it, so I'm writing in it now. I've been practicing for a month now and it's still really hard to read, but I promised myself that I'd start on the new year.

More later. Hand cramping up really bad.
