The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

I hooked up with this hot guy I liked in university. We hadn’t seen for a while so when he suggested lunch I agreed. After the delightful meal, he offered to drop me home.

He apologized but let’s just say that was the end of that. A-hole

When you first self-publish, it’s easy to get caught up in an avalanche of new words. You build an author platform, you promote, you post giveaways, you send ARCs, you tweet, you blog.
You’re constantly searching for a target audience, making up marketing plans. You’re slowly turning into a business man. Sometimes you might even talk like one. Heaven forbid you actually start dressing like one.
