I'm feeling much better today about things. I decided after my disappointment of yesterday that I would be a more proactive person today. I have been on the computer all day, either putting together my own business plan, or researching business plans. I've also tried to figure out everything that will be involved with shipping my book for my online orders and setting up that PayPal account.
I've set it up so that I can compose blog posts in Word and have it send it directly to my blog. That's a bonus. I've still got to sit down with my husband and go over the things I have gotten lined up. He kind of chuckled at me when he walked by at one point and saw my notebook and said "oh my, you're even taking notes"? I replied that I was glad he found it amusing, but let's see what he thinks when we sit down to go over everything! At one point he said that we weren't going to make any money from the first book so I needed to focus and get the second one finished. He refers to my hopes and dreams as his "retirement fund". He does have a point, since I don't work, I technically could sit around and write all day. But I can't, and he understands that. Lupus is not something you can play around with. Someday I'll give more information about lupus, but right now I am totally focused on my book. I have to run everything by him for a couple of reasons. One; we're partners and two; because of lupus I forget things very easily. Even something as simple as sitting in bed with my laptop is tiring for me. And Lord forbid anything I do involves math, I hate math. Pretty much detest math because I'm terrible at it, and it makes no sense! Do you see numbers in the alphabet? Nooo, there are only letters there. So why are there letters in math? You can't add letters. I don't care how many times my sons have tried to explain it to me; it will never make any sense at all. It's like them trying to convince me (graphs and charts included) that two negatives make a positive. Now this may make some of you think I'm ignorant, but truly, I fail to see how that is possible.
So, if you're done laughing at me I shall grab my notes and go discuss my findings with my husband.
Really, stop laughing, it's not that funny!
