Side Quests in Current Events

I’m in too deep and have to see this project through. The side quest is to create blank journals to sell through Kindle Direct Publishing. I can’t seem to get the measurements to work out for me. I spent a few hours on it yesterday evening. Several hours I should say. I made 12 of them, one for each sign of the zodiac. I had to delete them and start over. Might have to do it again today. I included a page with a blurb about the sign and some small facts. ChatGPT is amazing. I’m going to use the heck out of it.

This might not have the payoff that I’m looking for. It is presented as an easy way to earn a passive income but without lots of marketing and influence, it isn’t going to add up to much. Also, returns come out of your pocket. You also need a higher volume of them to make an impact. I’m creating a little series which might suffice. Celestial Chronicles. I fell into the category of people who thought you could just upload it, set it and forget, and wait for a big return. It doesn’t work that way. Now I’m thinking that I need to make it a better product. For the price it is suggested to sell it for, I feel like it should be more than just a blank journal. I think it should have a calendar and act as a day planner as well. I want to have it submitted by tomorrow. I’m having fun doing it though. The creative process that is. Not the process of trying to get it on KDP.

I did create an account for my “brand” across all social media platforms. I can start building my presence online so that I can use affiliate links to sell my journals. Also to get some commission on other things. Blah.

Yesterday I accidentally slept the day away. I did a massive grocery run and got home around noon. I decided to lay down for a little bit and passed out for four hours. I must have needed it. Today, I don’t want to waste it.

I am hellbent on doing a coffee enema today. I learned how to up my game with them. I’m also hellbent on making it to the gym for the first time. I started my meal prepping yesterday. I have to finish it today. Tomorrow I have to go register for my course. Also, I got to start my bigger side project and build my website next week. GhatGPT is going to make that so much easier. I give it the ideas and it just writes it out for me beautifully and the way I dictate it to. It’s also my little search engine. Feels like I have an assistant. Also, it organizes my thoughts and ideas for me lol.

I’m on that free trial for Canva right now. It’s for 30 days and not 7. I am going to use it to help make my logo. It also helps make a brand altogether. I could just ask ChatGPT to lay out all of the steps for me. There are so many resources man. It’ll be a lot of fun. The recording myself though… not so much. I asked ChatGPT for advice on how to do it and it gave me great ideas lol.

Also, I met my fathers best friend at my grandfather’s funeral a few months ago. He knew who I was just by looking at me. He was incarcerated throughout most of his twenties and missed that opportunity to meet his kids. He DMs me often which I assume is to keep a connection to my father who passed away almost 30 years ago. He mostly just posts things about hit fitness journey. It’s an interesting situation.

Anyway, I should get on with it then.
