I am aware of some weird sort of issue going on with Kobo, where anyone trying to get Reave there can't get it. I have NO IDEA what in the world is up with that, but I DO have an email sent to support with Draft2Digital about it. I am hoping this issue will get fixed/resolved soon and that anyone who wants to get Reave there is able to. Please check back soon, and I will let you know when this gets resolved. I'm so sorry.
I never thought I would thank someone for a 1-star review, but... Whoever left that? THANK YOU. I wouldn't have known there was an issue, if not for you. (But it does suck, all around.)
I've been doing this for a pretty long while now, and I have NEVER had so many big issues like this, and they all converged and occurred right at the time of the BookBub Featured Deal. I haven't been so embarrassed in my adult life. Maybe ever. Because being professionally embarrassed is a totally different thing than anything I've ever experienced. (And it's super frustrating, especially with feeling I've driven myself crazy trying to make sure I was doing everything right all the time.)
I guess I just have to accept that weird stuff happens, and technical crap happens, and sometimes it's like an evil force summons a dark cloud over you and you've gotta just ride that sucker out (the storm) 'til it's past.
While I feel that 'hell week' is over (that's what I'm calling last week)... it's kind of like having to pick up all the things that fell or got damaged/blown around during it. My family still has SITUATIONS going on here, but things are looking better, which is a larger relief to me than I know how to get across.
And the 'Italy situation' I THINK is taken care of, which means my KDP account SHOULD be fine now. I am going to do my best to make sure that's the case. (I will also update the main post about that soon. I just can't right now. The last week and a half or so has taken a lot out of me, and I honestly feel like I just need to rest.)
The price match issue for Reave in Canada IS fixed. So, if you missed out on it a few days ago, you can find it available now! Hopefully the Kobo situation will be taken care of soon, too. Hopefully ALL things are just totally better soon.
I've written the last two days, which is a big development and something I'm happy about. I'm tellin' ya... it's been hard to. For a long time. But I've really been wanting to. Progress is something to be happy about, for sure.
I did another painting that I'm proud of. And I'm very confused. I used to be absolute garbage with any kind of art. My WHOLE LIFE. I feel in ways like I'm learning some things about me with and through this, in ways I can't with writing or life. So. That's interesting. Maybe I might get halfway decent at it, if I can figure out what brushes do what. But I just don't feel the same way about painting that I feel about writing. Then again, I don't have to worry about getting so deep in the painting cave like I do the writing cave that I don't look anywhere else while life passes by.
I might be scared to write, because it's such a consuming thing for me. I guess that's something I need to potentially work through.
I did NOT mean to ramble so much.
Anyway.
Kobo issue: I'm aware and am waiting for a solution that I hope comes soon
Reave's Amazon CA price match: Fixed
The Italy ads issue: I BELIEVE is fixed, which means...
KDP account issue: Hopefully totally fixed
Writing: Yes (and still wanting to write nothing but a potentially too sexy age-gap romance that I likely would never let anyone else read... but maybe sometimes it really is okay to keep some of them to myself) (no matter which book(s) I try to work on, the same thing keeps trying to write itself....)
Shop: A couple more books added; working on it slowly when able
Family issues/situations: Some fixed, some halfway fixed, and the big one is improving day by day
Me: Tired and recovering from hell week; working through/on stuff
I really hope things are going well for everyone. And I hope SO MUCH that NO ONE is having a week like the one I am getting out of. If you are, I'll say again like I said a few days ago...
I am sending you good thoughts/feelings and internet hugs.
Apologies again to anyone who caught sight of the dark cloud of issues that is just now getting past, and if you missed out on Reave at your favorite retailer a few days ago or even today, please know I am trying my absolute hardest to get any issues standing between you and my book(s) fixed.
