I just got the unfinished painting for the cover for Chance #2. OH. MY. *GOD*. I donno when I’m going to be able to show it off (not for a while yet, because the comic’s going to *preview* at San Diego, and *launch* in September, rather than launching in July as previously thought), but OH MY *GOD*.

I mean, I have no particular attachment to the post itself, but there were comments on it, not all of which I’d responded to yet (ie, yes, mony, you *have* known me a long time, and stuff like that)…) (…oh, I bet I know what happened.

Ursula has such a way with words. Normally, under any sane circumstances, 2300 or so words a day would be a totally respectable wordcount. But to get this book done this week, I need to be doing 5K. I went to Ursula and whimpered. She said, “Ah. So the problem is that you’re doing mere superhuman productivity instead of Blazing Avatar of the Writing Godhead productivity?” I knew she’d understand. ytd wordcount: 150,600 miles to Minas Tirith: 264.9
