I avoid numbers like Americans avoid metric. A mile is 1320 capybaras long.

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

For my book series, I did anything but use a series name + number

-Time, like the moon rising/trees dying
-Graphics=1 healthy tree, 2 decaying trees, 3 stumps
-Tiles...ONE Blah. DUALITY (two) Blah. THREE Blah
-Blurbs say "Book one of Blah Trilogy"

@CJSimone333 Nope, exclusive to Amazon.

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

I have books that don't sell as paperbacks. To my surprise, 3 of them recently showed a rank of 400k which implies that someone bought them. They didnt.

Amazon dropped the price on 3 of my books, without notifying me, then ranked up the books as if they sold at all.

Glitch, or did someone actually pick up my whole series of paperbacks and it just isn't showing on KDP yet?

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

There's a part in book 1 where basically a phantom is scream nattering for the MC's demise, and while it looks jarring in text, it is so, so, so much worse in audio.

I just gave myself the creeps and I'm the one who narrated it.

Update. I am chosing not to go any of the FIFA World Cup games even though it was free for me.

I have seen Whitecaps from the company box, and seeing the devoted fans support a hardworking team is a joy over a bunch of Instagram wannabes supporting a very corrupt organization.

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

Okay. My weird dilemma.

I don't like FIFA (for a lot of reasons) nor soccer but I have just been offered Category 1 tickets for a choice of Vancouver games including Round 32. For free.

No seat select. Can't trade.

Do I go?

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

Me totally not blocking Romantasy readers asking for only Romantasy recs this morning.

I am baking red bean chocolate brownies and this is like gluten-free low-allergy vegan withcraft food. It's a dessert, it's healthy, and there's almost no way to kill anyone with it.

My life has been lies. Give me the protien iron chocobomb!

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

Seeing the MAGAts doing the whole, "I finally quit the cult!" thing and wondering why they aren't being celebrated.

Let's be honest, the ones who recently left only left because of gas prices. Nothing else. Celebrating you for saving your bottom line IS part of the problem.

@SteffenJack84 I'd like to watch Qatar get curb stomped while wearing the gayest Canada gear imaginable but... FIFA still sucks and I bet they'd throw me out for even trying.

@SteffenJack84 It is being offered through some work thing. And I did VIP booth at a Whitecaps (Vancouver soccer) team before. The energy at the Canada vs Qatar game would be astounding but...FIFA is such a shitty organization.

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

@ThomasPSulliva2 Some books I've read could do with less *she says, as the extended her torture scene*

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

What stupid chapters did you strip from your books?

-The femme fatale went to the gym
-MC's parents comically trying/failing to admit their very alien-looking daughter to a public hospital

@SteffenJack84 I'd say the same, but I remember just sitting there and taking HOURS to write one page and editing and re-editing. Endings hit hard.

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

It has been 1012 days since I've become an author, and I am neither famous nor rich because of it.

Right this injustice and read my books!

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

What do you think of my latest book cover?

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

Yawn. Morning. It's the first day of June. Insert usual author gripe here and the usual spiel of how zero isn't a hero and I want to people to be Hercules, give me a lift, and read my books.

Ooh! COFFEE!!

[Vanessa L Krauss, the Bubbly Brain @BubbleyBrain]

So, what do you think of the newest book cover?
