Funny email from my sister:
you’ll be pleased to know that (my housemate), when she was reading Chance over my shoulder, said at one point all eagerly, “yeah? yeah?” when she wanted me to change pages, and then got all impatient and tried to take over the mouse, but it didn’t interface the way she expected and she said, “nooooo!! how do i get to the next one??” with a tinge of desperation in her voice :)
I suspect Deirdre’s housemate isn’t a typical comic book reader. I just need her and about twenty thousand people like her to discover Chance… :)
I have taken what amounts to half a month off, at this point (submission of the Walker Papers proposal nonwithstanding). My brain is happy with this. My brain doesn’t want to go back to work. My brain is a big fan of continuing to schlep around accomplishing nothing. Sadly, my brain is shit out of luck, and for the next several days I’m going to be editing THE QUEEN’S BASTARD and trying to turn it into something presentable. Then it’s the Dublin Comic Con this weekend, and next week copy edits on COYOTE, at which point…
…I’m done.
That’s almost inspiring. Maybe I’ll go to work now. :)
miles to Isengard: 329
Of course, if you need a test reader, I’ll be more than happy to volunteer my services…
I’ll probably bring a printout of the comic up to Dublin this weekend so people can look at it. :) Um. You *are* going to the comic con, right? O.O
Well, yes and no. I’m actually working that day, but it’s just across the river, so I’ll be back and forth for breaks. We also have a table there to sell David Stewart’s books for charity, which Deirdre will be manning, so if you need somewhere to touch base, that’ll be it. I’m also supposed to be going out for dinner with all the guests on the Saturday night, but this also may not be possible, unfortunately, as we’ll have to get the books back to the house here. Sadly, I don’t think I can offer you my place!
One way or another, I’m sure we’ll manage to meet, even if only briefly. We might arrange lunch or dinner on the day, depending on how time goes.
I’ll read it! Ashley wants to, too. She saw the first five pages and was wowed. She asked where we could buy it. I said we had to wait, you weren’t done, and she told me to tell you to hurry up and get it out there.
Who’s publishing it, anyway?
If you say no one, I’m SO going to start screaming at the comic publishers…
No one. Don’t scream. :) I’m submitting it this week, trying to find a publisher. :)
