Every mistake is a lesson. I had to hold on to that thought this week as someone made me feel bad for a typo I made on my last post. He wasn’t trying to make me feel bad on purpose, I just really hate typos. It’s the writers curse. Never can you write something casually, you must call up the proofreader at 9am on a Sunday and ask them to take your money and look over the little blog post you put out there for fun.

Fuck that.

Every novel is checked over by a proofreader. My blog is not. Let us be at peace with that.

The Mika Ito launch is looming and it’s making me nervous, twitchy (does it show?). Four weeks to go and so much to do. The final edits are done, the copy writing is complete, proofreading nailed, ad artwork made. Also, blurb written, bloggers working on reviews. But what of the ARCs reviews? The website re-shuffle? The launch day program? Too much, all of it, too much.

If you want to be part of my ARCs team, let me know. Basically, you get a free digital copy of my book before it’s launched. Catch is, you need to leave a review by September 20th. Let me know.

I’ll sign off with some wisdom from Ice-T:

‘If you’re trying to make BIG moves, you can’t get distracted by SMALL things.’

Here’s another:

‘If we don’t inspire, motivate or support one another, we have no business being in contact.’

He’s a great twitter follow. Anyway, that’s all for now. I’m keeping it brief as time is running short. Speek spoon.
