I’m going to claim this is in no particular order, but I know I won’t be able to resist trying to make it somewhat organized:
- Nail down date for store signing
- (Definitely) Prepare/order signage for signing
- (Definitely) Prepare/order free give-away bookmarks for signing
- Reformat Skylights paperback so that people like the font. Do this without changing the page count.
- Make the Skylights cover look a bit better
- Order a crapton of copies of Skylights for the signing
- Figure out what a “crapton” actually entails, attempt to be realistic so I don’t lose a ton of money/have a thousand copies floating around my house forever
- Format Sanctum ebook
- Format Sanctum paperback
- Order a crapton of copies of Sanctum for the signing
- Again, figure out what a “crapton” is
- Oh, finish final draft of Sanctum
- I probably ought to reread it first
- Finish the book I’m reading so I can read my own book because I can’t handle reading two fiction books at once
- (Maybe) Prepare/order coupon cards for Free Comic Book Day if it turns out the signing isn’t on FCBD. (Bring the card back for 50% off on a book!)
- Add a page for Sanctum to the ebook versions of Benevolence Archives and Skylights, resubmit both to various ebook retailers
- Also, supposedly there is still a spot in BA where I refer to Remember as “he”; find that and fix it
- Marketing
- Open a PO box
- Get mailing list up and moving
- Possibly order a register iPad stand for signing so that I’m not handing people my phone, which seems like a bad idea
- Oh, buy a stylus
- Get all of this done on the rapidly-dwindling number of weekends I have between now and D-day, because I seem to not be able to do serious work during the week lately
None of this will get done today, because we’re having a few people over tonight (!!!) and I need to clean.

Good luck with everything! A crapton is between a crapload and a megaton. Just saying. 😉

I cannot believe I actually googled this (I need to step away from my computer), but according to Urban Dictionary ‘A crap ton is equal to 4 shit loads’ 😀

Well, sure… if you’re still using Imperial measurements instead of metric.

Good luck! I always like putting “make a to-do list” as the first thing on my list, so I feel accomplished right away.

I just read BA and remember being confused about Remember’s gender for a while. That, however, is my only complaint. 🙂

In the first draft of that story, she was male. I thought I had eliminated all of the male pronouns but apparently I missed at least one. (And thank you! Feel free to leave a review!)

I am on my way to review it right now! My computer is broken and after I read your book I immediately started writing the review in my head. Then I got to my broken computer and remembered I can’t type anything on it! So I was discouraged and pouty. But iPod touch to the rescue, here I go a-reviewing.

Ugh… I now have a ritual of Saturday morning “turning over of the to-do”… that is, shifting all the undone items from the week before to the next week in the planner and adding anything new from emails, friends, or otherwise. I have been up since 8am this morning (now it’s 3pm), and somehow I’ve only gotten one thing done! 😦
Good luck on yours. Some of that stuff looks fun. 🙂
