Ugh.  I was glad to come home and see the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was live, because otherwise today was just an enormous pile of shit.  The day started– and by “started,” I mean within ten minutes of walking into the door, with having to break up a rather impressively violent brawl between two eighth grade girls.  Ever done that?  It’s difficult.  Four fistfuls of hair, then they hit the floor and start kicking at each other.  I hit the floor with them eventually so there had to be an accident report and blah blah blah my job sucks blah blah blah.  On the plus side, I thought the first day of ECA testing went really well; we’ll see how day two goes on Wednesday.

Decided today that I’m done hassling people on Facebook about the book; I’m pretty sure that everyone I know has been notified that I’ve written one and I’ve sold the copies I’m going to sell (well, mostly) among people I know.  If I’m going to get much beyond the circle of people I either know or interact with on the blog (and, again, I’m pretty sure I can trace almost every single sale to someone I know) I’m going to have to come up with a better marketing solution.

Not to say that I have any good ideas at the moment.  I’ve kinda done the rounds on the ebook promotion sites; we’ll see if anything comes from it.  Between now and then, time to start working on the next thing.  School’s out in three weeks; it would be good if I had a decent head start on planning the next book (and finally got around to those edits on Skylights) before then.

Tonight, though, I need to watch TV and then sleep for a thousand hours.
