Bleh

It's an absolutely gorgeous day outside. According to my Weatherbug app, it's 74 degrees. It's sunny and beautiful!

This does beg the question: why the eff was my apartment so damned cold this morning? I had the heat on for a good hour while I was working. Imagine my surprise when I went out, all bundled up, and it was downright toasty.

Flung open the door and windows to take advantage of this nice turn. This is more like it, SoCal. Just sayin'.

I am finally indulging in my morning coffee. Did not sleep well at all last night; ended up wide-eyed at 8 AM before conking out until 11 or so. Since then, it's been a slow type of day. Paid my rent. Need to order more checks. Posted one tiny Craig's List ad, which is apparently the first of a barrage I need to unleash on the world.

I am not big on bragging about myself, which is possibly why I have so much trouble with query letters. I want people to come to me, not the other way around. Sadly, this doesn't work in the self-owned business.

I worked early yesterday (well...earlier) and got all my editing done before 3, aside from a couple rewrites I sent back. My problem is I'm basically a night owl; I love staying up late and sleeping through the day. Unfortunately, my editing skillz peak at about noon, and I'm done by 2 PM. If I can get my butt in the chair by 9 or so, that's still a solid five hours I can power through at top brain function. After a refresher (either a walk, or reading a book) I can launch into writing, or marketing, or something.

I guess this is all a learning experience.
