Today has been a day of procrastination.
Yesterday, I had a cortisone injection in my neck to hopefully help with a pinched nerve and ease some of the pain and discomfort I’ve been dealing with in several areas of my body. They told me to rest… and I did. Honestly, I kind of still am.
Today ended up being another unofficial rest day.
I went to my dermatologist and received an A+. As a redhead who has had skin cancer before, that is some of the best news you can receive.
Then, while I was on my way home, the vet’s office called to let me know I could pick up my Dobby. So now, I have him sitting near me on the coffee table while I write this.
Ever since then, I’ve pretty much been stuck in procrastination mode.
I’ve gotten a few things done, but as far as writing goes, this blog will probably be it for today.
I think a big part of the issue is that I’m still dealing with problems involving the publishing and marketing company I hired.
The contact I had been speaking with has apparently taken leave, quit, or who knows what. Meanwhile, several things connected to my accounts have been messed up. They’ve affected my Amazon account, the price of my paperback book, the link on my website, my Instagram account, and several other things.
I’ve spoken with the so-called manager and one of the other project leads. The manager told me everything would be fixed by next Monday and claimed they were just now finding out about the issues.
I called him out on that and let him know these problems were brought to their attention early last week — if not before — and that I have been, and still am, losing sales because of their inability to handle things properly.
If I lose money… then so do they.
Needless to say, the manager quickly changed his tune and said he would get on it.
This has definitely been a well-learned lesson.
An expensive one… but well learned.
Still, I have books — yes, multiple books — that I need to work on and get out into the world. Procrastination is not something I really have time to entertain right now.
So, if you know me, read my blog, or follow any of my social media pages… I officially give you permission to gently remind me to get my booty in gear and finish my next book.
A quick:
“Hey, Dorey, how’s the writing going?”
“What chapter are you on now?”
Or even…
“Are you done yet?”
…might actually help.
Anyhow, I’ll close for now, and I look forward to hearing from you with the occasional “booty kick.”
Till next time…
Fill your week with hugs, love, laughter, and many blessings.
Good night for now. 😴
