Another step taken...

It's begun. I not only qualify for bankruptcy, we've initiated the process. It means wiping out all my credit cards, so I'm getting one through my Credit Union that's secured by a cash deposit. It's limiting, but it gets me back on track and a huge weight off my shoulders. And if I'm careful, I can do just about all my traveling, using it.

That's one step back to being in some kind of control. Next will be publishing APoS-HNH. Got more notes, today, and we're 3/4 of the way through. A couple of moments were not written very well so I did a bit of polishing on them. But overall it's holding up.

Publisher's Weekly isn't going to review Home Not Home, so all I can do is wait for BookLife's review. Should be appearing soon. Put that on the jacket, maybe some quotes for Derry and New World For Old. We'll see what happens.

Fortunately, I'm at the less expensive end of the whole routine. I'll need to buy a physical proof and some copies I promised, but that's it. when I get around to doing the paperbacks, I'll have to buy some ISBNs and those are pricy, but I don't think I'm using images for the covers. Or if I do, I'll work up some simple pen and ink renditions to use in the background. I dunno, yet.

I'm going to dig through all the groups swearing they know how to help you sell millions of copies of your books and see if any make any sense...without it costing me a huge amount. That's always the trick.

I really hate being in this situation, but with the coming uncertainty thanks to the MAGAt scum and Democrats' wishy-washy-ness, I have to plan for the worst.
