I was beginning to wonder if I had an invitation anywhere to Thanksgiving Dinner, when Lady Rhiannon called yesterday. It will be great being with my Family. Diana is going to come pick me up around 3 or 4 pm.<\/p>\n
What has happened in each of the past 10 years is that nobody invited me until virtually the last minute, and then I get 3 or 4 invitations. I always accept the first one… it’s much easier to say, “No, thanks, I already have an invitation” than it is to call someone back and explain why I’m changing my mind. Even so, this would be my first choice.<\/p>\n
I’ve been working my butt off for Eternal Press. I not only have to keep up with current projects, but we have gotten the ability to go to print with any and all of our books, which means I have to go back and get ISBNs for everything we ever published. On top of that, we were an Australian company prior to May of 2008, and Australia did not issue ISBN numbers for short stories, so I have to go get ISBNs (Canadian) for those ebooks prior to getting print ISBNs of the same stories.<\/p>\n
At this time, I have (a) all the Aussie short stories’ ebook ISBNs, (b) all the Aussie short stories’ print ISBNs, (c) all the books we THOUGHT we were going to print with a few months ago converted over, (d) all the new books, both print and ebook ISBNs, from October through next February. I still have to get print ISBNs for our shorter<\/span> books from May through September (we only had planned to go to print with our larger books), and print ISBNs for our larger<\/span> books prior to May (all the short stories are done, as stated above).<\/p>\n I have been having some setbacks in my mental health, but usually just need a little reboot to get back… I won’t mention my rebooting method except in private. I did much better the past few days, but getting the Eternal Press databased caught up with the results of all the work just mentioned has brought back some small symptom… I may have to go reboot again, and can’t do that until tomorrow. Some of the setbacks might be attributed to the 5th Anniversary (earlier this month) of the last time I took psychiatric medications… or maybe another birthday coming up… or maybe just the change in seasons…<\/p>\n Hugs, I was beginning to wonder if I had an invitation anywhere to Thanksgiving Dinner, when Lady Rhiannon called yesterday.
