Summer is unofficially here!

Some people consider June to be part of summer, but I say...that July is when you really feel it. Summer feels especially hot this year. But maybe I just feel that way every year because I forget just how HOT summer really is.

Anyway, four sales for the month of June. Not bad. We're...getting somewhere--I think.
Okay, it's a decline(ever so slightly)...but not dead yet!
Speaking of dead (ominous voice needed), The Judge has disappeared from the top 10 rankings on Free Ebooks. I don't remember if I talked about this, but I might as well make a mention of this again. We had a good run. It was amazing while it lasted.

My book, S3, doesn't seem to have any takers. Ah, I so wished it would've made it into the Amazon contest. But what can you do? But I'm not going to stop pitching until I've reached out to every last agent.

I'm thinking of trying something new for the next book. But gotta finish the Guardian first.
I hope I can finish it soon.

About to make a post...

There hasn't been much going on lately. So I figured I might as well just keep these updates to a minimum. I'm having a really hard time finishing The Guardian. But I don't just want to throw it out there and call it a day. I'll make an "End of the month" post on the 30th.

Favorite drink of a hot summer day?

Now that the hot summer days are here, it's time to think about refreshing ice-cold drinks to keep cool.

As I've said before, I personally feel that water is boring. While it may be healthy and whatnot, it's not really my go-to drink when the weather gets hot and humid.

My personal favorites were Iced-Tea and Lemonade. How convenient then that they come in powdered forms. Even a one day old baby could make it (given some adult-assistance)! Just dump all the powder/sugar in a cup, add water+ice, and mix to your heart's content. Then just drink:  Shuuup. Clink. Aaaaaaah.

Of course, variety is the spice of life! We can't just let it end there. There are also plenty of other quick/easy/convenient cold drinks to fix up in emergencies.

Milk shakes, pina coladas, milk teas, and fruit punch are also nice cold drinks to whip up and enjoy.

And who can forget the existence of thirst-quenching soda (not baking)?
Man, we sure live in a such a convenient time when anything is just simply stored and easily accessible. Can you imagine having to run up a tall mountain (or live in the coldest place on Earth) just to get snow cone?
And what would be the point of eating something cold if it is cold?

Okay, I've rambled on long enough about pointless things.
Anyway, there've been a lot of tornadoes in the midwest lately. So...I hope everyone stays safe.
There's not much you can do but run I guess. Too bad scientists can't invent a way to disperse tornadoes.

Condensed Progress Report:
One sale. Whoo. CC is still on top ten of FreeEbooks (over 32,000 downloads!).
The Guardian is about 70% done.

What time is it kids?

What time is it? Why, it's HOWDY DOODY--er...okay, it's actually Jury Duty time, but it doesn't have the same terribly sung theme song.



Yeah, so that's what's up. The best part of Jury Duty? The vending machine in the Jury Assembly room ripped me off. It said 85 cents. I put in a buck and got back a dime. So there you have it. One missing nickel.

Two more sales!

We've finally got our sales for this month. Two books sold! Ah, progress, progress.

What is there to talk about? I don't know, the world's been pretty much in a mess lately.
Giant storms have been wreaking havoc in southern US. And that has only added to our problems as of late. Gas prices has almost hit $4 a gallon! It's not like it hasn't happened before. But even so, I guess it has a few good things going for it (less cars on the road=less polution?).
Has the economy been getting any better? Maybe? The news is always conflicting on that. They like to say: "HEY! THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER!" But...I wonder if the public feels the same way.

And the middle east never seems to be at peace. I really hope they can solve their problems soon. Turmoil is sucky. A very sucky thing. You know, that's a very interesting thing. When I was in elementary school I used to wonder (as the stupid little kid I was) why do people always talk about world peace? Well, it's obvious. Because there's never peace. :( :( :(
Speaking of middle east, they say Osama's been killed. Everyone's making a big fuss over it, but I wonder if it really changes anything.

But wait, isn't there ANY GOOD NEWS? Uh...something about a marriage of royalty. That's nice? I guess.

I watched the first two episodes of Doctor Who. Interesting concept. I mean, as ridiculous as always, (and I love ridiculousness, it's practically my middle name--whatever that means) but still entertaining nonetheless. I don't really want to spoil anything, but I really love the memory extraction. It's like nothing ever happens...but IT DOES. And you don't realize it until it's too late. Those aliens were U-G-L-Y though. No nightmares thankfully. Well, there was that one nightmare, in which I kept getting chased by a friggin' T-Rex, but that has nothing to do with Doctor Who.

See attachment for your winning information!

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.
