Some progress in courses. Used life's situations to inspire a book - or used a book to defuse a life situation. Either way, it worked.

StoryOrigins: 0 Overall Total: 3115 (Overdue overboarding disguised this as "slow growth". New giveaways producing new readers. 3 new giveaways started Sept 1 and are producing more than others, right according to strategy. Yet these overboard in the same percentages.

The Great Writing Business Challenge – Week 27 Results
Felt good to do nothing but writing (and farming). All the various interruptions on July 4th showing up midweek, then fireworks for four days around it (drives some dogs nuts) - all lent to distractions. But I've got two books ready (nearly) to publish and another anthology to proof...
