No work on JASON today. I was sick. Not with the same virus that Trinity and Jon had, but with something else. Sigh. I’m feeling better now, but we’ll see about tomorrow. Which means my day off this week was today, and I will work tomorrow. I want to work at least a few hours. I left the action in a precarious spot. I’d like to at least finish the scene.
Oh, and for those keeping track. THE HARLEQUIN was number eight on the NEW YORK TIMES list, and now is number eighteen. Three weeks in the top ten was very cool. Four would have been even cooler, true, but being four weeks in the top twenty is pretty damn cool, too. Frankly, I don’t always check the list religiously like some writers do. Why? Because it can play with your mind. It’s the same reason I don’t read most of the reviews. Good, or bad, on the wrong day it can disrupt my ability to write. It just messes with you. Since I am almost always in the middle of another book, or two, or a script, well, I can’t really afford to be thrown off center by my own publicity. You can’t believe that you are as wonderful as people say, or as bad as other’s say. Write, do the interviews that come your way, concentrate on business, and don’t let the winds of public opinion sway you too hard either way. All else is madness.
