Making some fun live wallpapers for Android!

Welp, the time has finally come!

I worked on some live wallpapers a while back, but had some trouble with preferences activities. Now that there seems to be a really good example I can use for reference, I'm gonna play away! I love glowy, sparkly, bright and pretty things.. it's no wonder I make figure skating dresses as well haha. It is a strange combo - writing a novel, sewing custom skating dresses, and android development.. I guess I just have a bad case of ADD. The only drawback is that I often find there are not enough hours in a day. If we could have 36 hour days, I'd be game for that! As long as I still only needed 8 hours of sleep a night.

...

Also leadbolt has me frustrated. It seems that I'm for some reason not getting credit for people completing actions, so therefore they continue to see ads even after I've promised them that their ads will go away, AND I don't get paid. I contacted customer support, so hopefully they get back to me at some point this weekend ~.~

Back to some android development

Welp, I have terrible ADD and am back to doing 9000 kajillion things at once. I have two more custom dresses to finish, and I'm also working on my novel still (at 25k words, woo hoo!!! about 1/4 done) and today

I decided to add HeyZap and Leadbolt to all of my Android apps. That's gonna take some time, but it will hopefully pay off. I am not pleased with the terrible results I've had from admob - roughly 500 dollars over the course of a year. I figure I don't have much to lose by switching at this point. Also, I tried pontiflex as well and it has done even worse than admob for me ($5.00 in like 3 months) ugh.

Will make a follow up post when I have stats on leadbolt ... :)

Dress Craziness

This last week has been particularly insane for me. I had eight dress orders over only a few days. Now I've been scrambling like crazy to get all of this stuff done in time for their competitions. I barely had time to celebrate 4th of July, but I'm so glad I got to. I really needed that day yesterday; lack of sleep has been killing me lately.

I've also hit the 25k word mark in my novel, and started outlining before I do each chapter (helps me get the words out faster) I definitely don't find myself able to outline more than one chapter at a time though, because it ruins my creativity. I like not knowing exactly what's going to happen next!! Lani, Lance, Erik, and Katie are in for a wild ride :-)
