What I actually did yesterday:

Put my self-pub reprint of Dolphin Dreams on Amazon and Draft2Digital. That completes the first batch of self-pubbing my old Loose Id titles. More details once it's mostly finished publishing through the D2D partners, when I will show you the lovely cover art Alex Beecroft created for me. Today will probably involve rounding up some of the notebooks and loose sheets with first draft scribbled in them. They're scattered all over the house.

No writing over the weekend, but I did 850 words yesterday and 2000 today, so getting somewhere. All on Pulling Strings - I would have liked to do something for Sacchi but so far have drawn a complete blank on suitable ideas. I might have a browse through Folk Tales of the British Isles tomorrow, as there's something niggling at me about shipwrecks and caves and mythological beings. Merrow, I think, although I've already done a merman story. And yes, I know Trapped In A Cave! (TM) is not exactly original.

8400 total on Pulling Strings since the start of the month, so averaging 1000 words per day - not Nanowrimo speed, but still reasonable progress in spite of not having bum in seat every day.

Obsessive checking of Fictionwise has commenced. The Syndicate 1 was at 162 today, while Mindscan had made it to 850 on the strength of the first day's sales. I'll be interested to see how Mindscan does, as Fictionwise no longer puts all the new releases on the front page, and Mindcan is not one of those selected. It's on the New Releases page, but that's much less detailed - no cover art or blurb.
