A few quick catching-up bullet points.
* I'm not currently quiet because I'm sick, I'm currently quiet because I'm in Alabama, land of 'no, Seanan, you can't go into the storm drain to see the alligators, we don't have a SWAT team standing by to remove your remains.' I am having a fantastic time hanging out with the Crowells and their friend Mike, and True Blood is even more fun when watched with a group of people who can explain the references.
* Thank you to everyone who commented on my Pegasus Award. I'm still deeply over-the-moon about it, even if I'm not inking the 'look, ma, winners' strips as quickly as I'd like. Something about my scanner being broken for months on end seems to have put me slightly out of practice. (All strip commissions taken before the scanner broke are in the queue; I'm just tossing off a few 'fluffier' strips first, to make sure I remember how to work a ruler.)
* My CDBaby page for Stars Fall Home should be up any day now, which is good, because the process of getting it posted is driving me slowly out of my mind. Every time I finish filling out all their forms, they throw another one at me. Also, they won't allow me to pay setup costs via PayPal, which seems, well, rather silly. Come on, people, I know you take it, don't be dicks.
* I finished my second end-to-end rewrite on Late Eclipses of the Sun, and have actually started reconstructing the outline for The Brightest Fell. In other news, I write a lot of books, and it's a little bit frightening sometimes. Also, I do not apparently believe in taking breaks.
* Simon (Mary and Wesley's son) thinks that The Mourning Edition would be vastly improved by the addition of zombie squid which store and fire human zombies like giant decaying calamari machine guns. I am impressed by his love of the undead, if also resistant to the whole 'zombie squid' concept. Remember, you know your zombie book has gone silly when the zombie sharks show up.
* I miss Kate, Mia, and Vixy, and need them to be here now.
...and that's all. What's up in the rest of the world?
