Recent Writing Productivity

Added 2024-07-28 19:30:02 +0000 UTC

Unlike some writers, I don’t have a daily quota or word count that I strive to reach. I basically just try to write as much as possible each day. Unfortunately, the writing has fallen the past few days for a couple of reasons.

First and foremost, I’ve been under the weather. I can (and usually do) push through most ailments, but simply couldn’t manage it this time. Even worse, it’s the second time that’s happened in the past few weeks. Guess I’m getting old…

The other issue is that I had a set of Amazon ads that just stopped working. That occasionally happens – an ad just suddenly conks out for no reason – but it was several ads all at once. That often points to something happening behind the scenes, like a change in Amazon’s algorithms. In essence, though, it’s kind of like having a flat tire; you have to fix it asap, or you aren’t going anywhere. (At least not in a hurry…) In short, I’ve been working on the ads; they’re still not fixed, but I’ve probably done all I can for now, and will happily to turn back to writing and try to make up for the recent lack of productivity on that front. Wish me luck…
