I've leveled out all the units up to the 1st checkpoint of Duolingo's Scottish Gaelic course. Leveled out meaning all of those have 5 crowns, or have gone through all 5 levels of each unit. Started the 2nd level of Phrases 2. There are less units in this section. So, it feels like it's going by quickly. I'm currently at 16th place in the Obsidian League. I doubt I'll make it to the top 10 by the end of the week, but we'll see.
I finally finished editing all 5 of my published books yesterday. Wahoo! Still haven't gone back to writing that unfinished sequel to Alliance. (It'll be the 3rd in the series.) Might get to it soon, I don't know.
The cookbook, which was the last one I edited, had the least amount of errors. I really just added a couple of words and changed a couple of letters. Nothing big. Kind of made me hungry going through them. Gave me, or maybe reminded me of, another idea to promote it. That being, making a lot of the dishes I haven't yet. I can't really do the complex stuff, but there's a lot of simple and easy things. I can share pics of them to places like its fb page, Instagram, twitter, etc. It'll give a way for people to actually see what it'll look like. There are no pics in it, except for a Passover popover on the cover, but that's different. It's actually harder to publish/format with pics in the manuscript. More expensive for customers, too.
The most errors were probably in Alliance. That was my 1st book, so I get that. It was a bit annoying, though. Alliance: Dawn was much better, but still had quite a lot of mistakes. Surprisingly, my 2nd book, Sweet Endless Terror, really wasn't bad. Not many mistakes. I had to add and update quite a few things to my memoir. Things changed, but I didn't add too many current stuff, just changed my thoughts on some of it. Maybe in the future I'll write another one, but that'll be a while.
I started checking the formatting today. Wasn't sure if the newer version of Word changed them or something, so I want to make sure. Finished checking both the ebook and print versions of Alliance. I wasn't expecting to finish it today. I have a feeling they'll all go pretty quickly. There really were no errors in formatting. I realized and changed a few things with the front and back 'matter' of the ebook, and a little of the About the Author section of the print. I don't really want to give away my personal fb page, and yet I had it listed. I had both Kindle and Smashwords editions listed at the top, which would not only be too much to look at for the beginning, but both places don't like to have other 'distributors' listed. (Both call themselves distributors, and the authors are the publishers. Gets a little weird considering I have to get approval from them.) Plus those will be specific editions. It just would have made more sense this way. I might have had it different when they were in the Kindle Select program. That's exclusive, and they're strict about it. I might update the extra stuff in the future when I make new accounts on various social media platforms for it. People can actually interact more this way.
I'm apparently still sick. It's a lot better than it was, at least. Nose is still runny, woke up with a sore throat that never really went away, abdominal pain, etc. Tried a half dose of the severe DayQuil stuff this morning. First time since Sunday having it. Hasn't helped much this time. Maybe it's just the tail-end of it? Hopefully. Getting a little worried about it.
I'm going to try ordering my meds tomorrow. I don't know what's going on with my insurance. There wasn't a denial letter, but I haven't gotten anything about it. I noticed about a week ago that they still have my insurance card on Kaiser-Permanente's site. (Haven't looked back since.) Maybe it still hasn't completely transferred. I know they're covering vision and dental for me already, which I haven't really had either of in a very long time. Another side of this is before I ordered lamotrigine in October, my refills went from like 90 to saying as needed until mid-December. After that, no more refills. My primary doc never asked me to make an appointment to renew those refills for it. She does that once a year. Apparently, she can't approve more than a year's worth (over 90 refills each time doesn't make sense...I order 1 a month), and they have to test my blood to see if it's affecting my liver and other things. Not hearing from her makes it even weirder. I'm hoping if I order them, they can talk to my doc about it before approving more refills. If they can only do like 1 or 2 and want me to see my doc to get more, I will. That med is a lifesaver. So, it's not just the uncertainty of my insurance, but of being able to get an important med, too.
