I have always been prone to list making, I
even enjoy it - especially the crossing off bit when a thing is done. I like
that bit so much that if I do something not on the list I add it and then cross
it off. Sad or what!
Now, with my "writing career"
"taking off" I have so many things to do I have a running list which
despite all my delicious crossing off never seems to get any shorter. I use iDailyDiary a very simple and free program
which means I can copy and paste my unaccomplished tasks to the next day.
I do highlight urgent stuff in red and that
usually gets done but some things just get transferred over and over again and
then when I do look down the list I can no longer remember what I was talking
about, eg.
·
"Twang
it into a tree" - this is a little catch phrase we use at home but why did
I add it to my list? Twang what?
·
"Wombles
- I mean it this time" (I did eventually remember what this was and wrote this blog post as a result but I'm still not sure why I put "I mean it this
time"!)
·
"Laupahoehoe
Position" - after some stroky chin pondering this too resulted in a blog post.
·
"Senegalese"
- no idea.

For a
while I have had "Update Lush Description" in red on the list, waiting
to be accomplished and yesterday I got round to it. This is as a direct result of reading an
excellent little eBook on my Kindle; "Unlimited Books Sales Machine"
which makes some
really good points and from which I realised that I could probably do better than just repeating the start of the book when describing my "Lush Ice Cream without
a Machine" on Amazon, it does after all have a Look Inside option. Have a look and see what you think of the new improved description here.
Whilst I was making changes and
also, as the sun was out (note the past tense!) I decided to do a Summer
Special and reduced the price by 12%! I
put at the end of the description "get it whilst
the sun's out!" which I wrote in a burst of enthusiasm but there's nothing
like being prepared and anyway ice cream is good at any time. Here's one I made earlier ...
