And here I thought Gmail had perfected their spam blocker. But today I got one of those infamous YOU WIN emails from Nigeria in my inbox. I cannot deny that it made me kinda happy at first...until I realized it was just spam. I don't think I've ever really won a sweepstakes/contest thing in my life and I've been entering those darn things all the time. Can't win anything. :( I guess the odds are pretty bad. Although, I did win Jury Duty for next month, if you can call that winning.
Anyway, another day has come and gone. And we got another sale! Coranite Chronicles still hanging in there on the top ten and we are still inching ever so slowly towards 30,000 downloads!
Oh, and it has finally come upon us! Doctor Who's next season is here! I was never really a fan of the series, but I really like this latest Doctor and his seasons.

Easter Easter Easter!
It's that time of the year again! (Yes, I know, every time of the year comes again, every year with the possible exception of Feb29.) Easter! I've always wondered... why is it called Easter?
Now with the power of the Internet, there is no need to wonder!
*does quick google search*
Hmm... Looks complicated. Something about Old English taking the name from Germanic calendar which refers to the month of April named after some pagan goddess...
*mumble mumble*
Who comes up with this stuff? WHO?
Now I don't even want to bother searching for the origin of bunnies that lay eggs.

Post for the Week
Today, I thought I'd try to give some kind of progress report on the Guardian. Basically, I'm currently on working chapters 18-20. And I expect there to be about 30 chapters. After I finish writing it, I'm going to do some extensive editing. *sigh* I keep wishing I'd be done with it, but...it always takes so long. Hopefully I can get through the editing quickly.

Cleaning up
Another sale! Up to 55! 5's are like S's. And S's stand for Super!
Okay, enough about that. Yesterday was insanely hot. And I mean, hot(what else would I mean?). It was only inside though. Outside was cool. Anyway, my computer got totally fried from the heat. I checked the temps on the cpu and it was reaching almost 70c while idle! Kept crashing and freezing up. So I decided to clean it up a bit. So much dust everywhere! Thick balls of dust. THICK BAAAAAAAALLS! After cleaning up the dust, it now idles in the 40's. Not great, but I don't really have the money to look into a better cooling situation. Oh...well....works fine, can't complain.

First sale of the month.
It may have taken a while, but now we can all celebrate! Yes, one more book sold. Up to 54 books now!
Weather's been pretty crazy lately. It was insanely hot yesterday, then we had this ridiculous thunderstorm with crazy winds, and now it's kinda cold. Typical. Also...it looks like that stupid web counter is busted. Figures. I know it's free and all, but what's the point if they just break after a few months?

April fools!
April fools!...oh wait, I'm one day late.
Uh...progress report? I don't know. Maybe the Guardians is still about 30-40% done.
But I've been making some changes so it kind of added extra editing.
How much longer? I'm not sure. I want to finish it by this month. We'll see.
S3 threw me off track totally.
The Judge is still hanging in there on the top 10 fiction ebooks on Free-Ebooks.net. I'm surprised it's been there for as long as it has. It's always at the bottom so it's nerve-wrecking. It's at 27558 downloads. Almost to 30,000. No sales for this month. Bummer. I wonder if a better economy would help. But I don't know. The book is only 1$ online and I think I've only sold about 30 or so of them.
As for some added news:
As you all probably know I won't be writing the final book of Darek's trilogy. I think it's supposed to be called The Immortal. But I think I might try to just write a few chapters and throw it in at the end of the Guardian.
Even though I will make the Guardian free, I don't think I'll put it on Free-Ebooks.net. Why? It's a simple reason: putting books on Free-Ebooks cost money. Downloading the books may be free, but putting it up does come with like a $20 cost. Yeah, $20 may not sound like much. But I'm dirt poor. Maybe even poorer than dirt.
I'll have links on here. But it'll be kind of sad because I don't think people really visit this blog.
