Bad Bob: I just picked up two new books that weren't on sale, coupon-eligible, or otherwise discounted.
Good Bob: I got them with reward points, and even after that purchase, my point-purchase formula has gone from "stay between 400K and 500K" to "stay between 500K and 600K." In that sense, I'm still in the black.
Bad Bob: I should be editing; the author is getting close to the end of the manuscript. (Then again, I've been hearing "2-4 more chapters" for a while now.)
Good Bob: I got the cover for the last short in this sequence prepped and found some edits in an early chapter, so I'm not a total slacker. The author has a workshop soon, and will be able to get feedback on the whole set.
