You know what feels strange?
Setting up a facebook author page.
At the request of my publisher I did this recently. It’s very bare right now, but it exists. I understand this is an important marketing
tool. I am just not that skilled when it
comes to social media, so it isn’t at all an easy process for me. As of right now I have a total of zero
likes. Will you help me change
that? I promise it won’t always be such
a boring page. As my release date gets
closer I’m sure I will have more to fill it with. You can find this at www.facebook.com/christydecker83.
And yes, I also set up a twitter account after I signed my
publishing contract. If you happen to be
there, follow me! @christydecker83
My latest writing news is that my second book is nearly at
13,000 words. I had a rough couple of
weeks that included my husband, children, and I getting the flu, or that word
count would be higher. This is the first
year in probably a decade that I didn’t get my flu shot. Lesson learned.
In very random news, some type of unknown predator tried to
kill my chickens this morning, but was unsuccessful. I have our dog Achilles to thank for this. We had a massacre that involved a raccoon in
the past. This had to be a cat that got
into our yard…or perhaps a hawk swooped down and tried to hurt a chicken? As I said, I can’t be sure. All I know is that around 8 am it sounded
like a chicken was dying. (You will just have to trust that this is a very
distinctive sound.) I immediately let
Achilles out and it quieted down. I went
outside, saw a bunch of feathers, and thought for sure at least one chicken was
dead. I couldn’t find them all. The chicken that lost a few feathers is fine,
the other chickens had hidden but are also okay, and whatever was in our yard
was scared off by Achilles. He was given
some extra bacon treats today. Thanks,
Achilles.
Now I must take advantage of the quiet in my home and get to
working on The Consequence. I’ll be
around for another blog post before too long.
