whoo hoo, Allyson! BOOK! In its tangible totally real form! I cannot WAIT to read it.
Aw, Frank. I'm sorry about the accident and the subsequent anxiety/beating yourself up loop. I know that loop well and it's hard to get out of it once it starts. It will all be OK, though, in the end. It's nothing that you can't handle, even if that guy decides to be a total dick and get a new bumper.
HOOORAY! Tell me more...
Plei was very envious when she saw the ARC sitting on the table in my living room. I went all enthusiastically hand-wavey at a good friend's birthday party about the book. Everyone at the party was an SF/Fantasy/genre media fan, so they all wanted me to Tell Them More! about it. And when I mentioned your connection to the Save Firefly campaign? A couple of them threatened to build a shrine to you and start fervently passing out copies of your book.
I'll tell you more when I get back from my meeting.
Beej, *I* have InDesign. Also Photoshop and, I think, Freehand (although I don't know how to use it). And a buncha other stuff.
Oh. My. God. Todd!!
Insent coming.
HOOORAY! Tell me more...
Seriously. No shame.
Although this is good. Time to embrace the joy and pimp yourself out shamelessly!
Allyson!!!!
Book!!!
!!!!
Uh, when do we, in the general public, get to pick up our copies?
That's awesome, Allyson. I'm very excited for you.
This is the well earned beginning of a fascinating career.
