And just like that, February is gone. The only surprising thing about the leap day was the amount of software that didn’t handle the existence of February 29th. These kids today… As someone who used to write software, all I can say is: don’t write your own date manipulation functions, and if you absolutely must, learn the rules for leap years. But before we move along to the March goals, how did February go?
Clean up Theoretical Magic and send it out to my critique partners.DID THIS!Write weekly episodes of the Kindle Vella dragon serial.YES!Create two digital bonuses for my amazing Patreon supporters.YES!- Create and load an omnibus for the cozy series. (I’m not sure how many books I should put in, which is why I haven’t done this before now. But I’ll just have to make some decisions.) I think I have the graphics done (for the retailers that don’t allow 3-D omnibus covers). But I didn’t do the rest of it.
- Continue narrating Shift Happens. I’m roughly 55% through the book, so I may be almost done by the end of the month, but I’ll probably have to go back and re-record some things. I’m getting better as I go along, so this may be a two-pass affair. I have three chapters left to narrate and an additional four to edit.
February is also Thingadailies month, and I think I’m going to use that to get better at photomanipulation. The cover for Theoretical Magic is going to take some work, and my skills aren’t currently at that level.SKILLS WERE IMPROVED!
Regarding the photo manipulation, here’s a thing I made (following a tutorial):
I’d give myself an A for the month but I totally forgot about the omnibus until yesterday and I absolutely slacked off on the narration halfway through the month. But I’ll still give myself a B+.
