| Adopting a Napoleonesque pose at the Marine Corps Ball |
A busy week gone by, and
the little checklists have so far paid dubious dividends… Even the simple
things, like “Drink 2 liters of water” are going undone, often as not. Of
course, it was an odd week, what with an impromptu send-off party for a fellow
officer headed to Afghanistan and my squadron’s Marine Corps Birthday Ball on
Thursday night, but even so!
That said, I did get a
good bit of writing done, so salvaged that end of things… I also did a little
experiment, putting $5.00 of promotional money toward the Facebook post on
Chapter 34 of The Perfidious Mister Wickham… The result? So far, with only
about $2.50 spent, over 1000 people have seen the Facebook post, and over 100
have visited the book page – an all-time high!
With the book running an
estimated 45-50 chapters, about $50 should theoretically bring in quite a lot
of potential readers and future customers. Worth the price of admission? I
think so, but does anyone else have experience with this feature on Facebook?
WRITING

Foreign Affairs.
FITNESS

NEW ECONOMIC
- Well, old economic – put in an offer on a pair of little rental
condos in Hilton Head!
- Reduce my personal carbon footprint – I got the electric motor
and battery for my little dinghy, and took her out for a spin – read the wholestory here!
So, another somewhat useful week, but lots to do still – will put
the little checklists to the test this coming week, where my big goal is to get
Ho B-52 published and promoted!
Wish me luck!
