I don't market my books all that often, but:
I turn 50 in 4 days.
I have had to put an ENORMOUS amount of money into my car to keep it running.
And selling 50 books (in celebration of my age) would be really cool, so - maybe buy a book?

I understand that some people are excited about the idea of Jake Paul getting absolutely wrecked by Mike Tyson.
But it feels like those people maybe need to look into the history of Mike Tyson.
Seems like a "whoever wins, we lose" scenario.

The only show I can think of that never did this was The Wire, which is why the first six or so episodes sometimes felt like they were in a foreign language.
Maybe this is obvious but this is why so many movies/books have an "outsider" character that people have to explain basic concepts to. Like Greg in Succession. Or the protagonist is an outsider (Neo in The Matrix etc) who has to have everything explained to them and the audience.

I figure we're all gonna spend the weekend stress-scrolling, so download the Kindle app and read a fun book instead. It'll be free on Friday. Blood Calling is vampires as the mostly good guys: amazon.com/Blood-Calling-Boo…

The more I read about the election, and elections worldwide, I'm starting to think there was literally nothing that could have been done to change the US results.
Whatever we had, the country wants "the other thing," assuming it's going to be better.

Knowing there was no avoiding it is comforting, because no matter what I did, I couldn't fix it.
It doesn't, however, speak well of how voters vote, and their lack of consideration about the possible results of their choices.
