Ugh.

The following happened:

  • I woke up with about a third of a cold.  Juuuuuust enough to be massively annoying and make me want to spend the day in bed.
  • The boy somehow managed to cut my soul when I dropped him off at day care today.  No tears, but…god, the betrayface was somehow twenty times worse than usual.
  • Two different job interviews, both half an hour away, but far enough separated in time that just hanging out in goddamned Elkhart for five hours wasn’t reasonable, that both went very well, for at least one job that I think I’d really like, neither of which will pay me sufficient wages to keep my house.
  • Three positive reviews (one four-star, two five-star) for The Benevolence Archives have been removed from Amazon, for no reason that I understand.  I found an email address to write and complain to; I suspect it will get me nowhere.  (HA!  They’ve already sent me a form letter back, without actually reading my message.  It took ten minutes.  I love it when customer service is a robot!)
  • I have gotten no writing done whatsoever in the last two days that isn’t on this site.  This isn’t the big problem that the others were (I wasn’t expecting to, what with bathroom reno yesterday and the job interviews occupying my brainspace today) but I feel weird stopping at four things.

I am going to bed in the very near future and saying to hell with today.

    Amazon will remove ratings if they suspect that you paid for them.
    Operating word here is “suspect” – evidence is not required.

    It was a big snit on the self-publishing yahoo group a few weeks back.

        It’s the star count, not the verbage.

        If it makes you feel any better, someone on the same self-pub group noted that they’d received a scathing review, all to promote the reveiwer’s own book at the end of it.
