Other than that, I'm pretty much going to keep things short and sweetish with an update on what I'm doing. And to make it even easier for me, I'm doing things bullet-style:
- Yesterday I was away due to having to write a gun exam and shoot to prove my proficiency in order to come one step closer to qualifying for a weapons license. I passed with flying colors:
 |
| Bullet Style. Get it? And yes. Those are mine. 9mm pistol shot at 7 meters. 10 shots. |
- As of right now, I've hit upon what I think will be my marketing strategy. Which is awesome, given that I'll actually be able to implement it this time. No short notice surprises from my publishing house. I am the publishing house now.
- I have decided on a logo I'll be using to bind my books together.
- I am past halfway with revisions, and speeding up so I might be done with the revision round by this time next week.
- I discovered a loooooooooovely way to make hot chocolate creamy. Add butter. Just a spoonful will do. And it's sugar free (and poisonous sugar replacement free) and in accordance with the eating lifestyle I've adopted, so even better.
- It snowed yesterday, but the light was too bad to take pictures, and it's melting too much for me to bother to take them now. I am, however, thinking it will snow again before winter ends. Yes, we have winter in South Africa. Terrible, cold, biting winters in some places.
- I'm thinking about taking up pistol shooting as a sport. It's exhilarating, and needless to say, I have the knack.
- I'm going to stop now because I still want to get some more editing done. Who knows? I might even finish this weekend. Although I'm not going to push it.
- Becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause.... I'll be reading. Reading is good. Reading gets my mind thinking along the right paths to write.
What's news at your end?
Congratulations on passing!
ReplyDeleteWe're hot and humid here, so thoughts of snow are nice.
Now, back to your editing!
Remind me never to get on your bad side. :P
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's impressive!
And woot on the self-publishing. Go, Go, Go! :D
Congrats on passing your gun exam! I haven't been to a shooting range in a while, but it can definitely be fun.
ReplyDeleteWay to go with all your work for your publishing ventures!
Best wishes with editing!
And enjoy the reading! I concur - reading is good for a writer, and it's just good for the soul.
Congrats on passing the test! Happy editing :-)

ReplyDeleteThat gun exam looks too easy for you! Like the sound of that creamy hot chocolate! Go you with the editing.
ReplyDeleteHi, Misha! CONGRATS on passing your gun exam.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You've got a sharp eye. Have a terrific weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood shooting. More accurate than me. Maybe that's why I have shotguns too. Hope you make some solid progress on the editing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing! You have some great momentum going.
ReplyDeleteThings are moving along smoothly!!! Congrats on all your progress. Where do you live that it's snowing? It's ridiculously hot here in Nashville.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on passing the test! Good luck with your editing!

Reading inspires my writing like nothing else. And congratulations on the test -- most impressive.
ReplyDeleteGreat shooting, Misha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are doing well on all fronts.
Winter in South Africa- that's such a fun fact! It would make a good story, I think. Maybe a short.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the targets. Way to shoot 'em up!
Good job with the shooting and finding a good sugar replacement for hot chocolate!
