Rosie's been having very loose, wet poops the past few days, waking me up several times a night to go out, and now I'm anxious and insomniatic. Lying down with her seems to be the only cure....

I only make $0.36 per sale on some of my titles.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
