GRRRRRRRR.....I lost a day's worth of writing when I lost power Thursday night, and didn't know it until a few minutes ago.
It's gone...no autorecover or anything.
FABULOUS. I so have time to rewrite a day's worth of work!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Have you tried searching for words you know are in the article, Erin? Sometimes things lurk as temporary files.

Ginger is wise. I have definitely benefited from this strategy in the past. More times than I like to admit.
Sometimes the formatting is wonky, but having the words back was a great comfort.

Yeah, I combed through it, but I lost power Thursday night while and they got et but good.
I've got some handwritten notes, so it's ok, and my editor isn't in a hurry. It's just a Monday morning PITA...

It is a total bummer. May the reconstruction be peppered with fresh inspiration that makes the finished product even happier-making than the original piece.

One hopes. I think I'll have to be sassy on the revising, though.
Right now, my brain is on the "SLOG" setting; it's Monday after a long, relaxing weekend.

Does anyone have experience with the Amazon Affiliate links program? I want to use them for whenever I mention specific books on Gothic Charm School.

Thirding the Square-- I use it at the flea market, and it's great.
I checked out a couple of nearby antique malls today. I think I might be getting a booth soon, probably to sell books; next I have to price out self-storage so I can see about expanding my Etsy business with the vintage clothes.

Because books.

I do, sort of. I had it set up on my old website for my books, but I had very little traffic. I think I earned, like, $20 once.
They send quarterly (iirc) statements via email stating whether or not your links earned anything, and then you can choose how to be paid, if they do. It's not a bad thing to do if you get a lot of traffic on your site, and people will take advantage of the convenience to click through.

I've used Amazon links on my site for the last 10 years.
I do not have the kind of traffic you do, Jilli, so my experience is not going to be yours, but not one red cent has been earned that way.
If someone clicks on a book, then hits another link on the Amazon page, poof goes the connection. Since I don't stress BUY FROM ME, it's not an income generator.
On the other hand, I love having a way to directly connect folks to books I recommend. Those resources are key to my clients' success, so it's sort of key to offer this service.
