I'll, uh... get right on that. Giggle-snort.

But can't you imagine? Your book, with a self-made cover! You could use glitter-glue! It would be, like, the bestest cover ever! And making covers for each of your books would keep you busy for at least another 20 years... ;-)

ROFL! Not to mention squeezing all the lemons for your back yard book promotion. Wowee I bet ALL the kids would wanna come!

BTW - My Devil Duckie arrived! Erestor stole it and has it unter his wing. But I loved it for the three minutes I got to have it!

I'm obviously doing something wrong. No stick-figure covers, and I'm apparently skimping on the free lemonade.

The free lemonade is the secret to success, I tell you. With my next book, I'll hand out a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale for free. It will become a bestseller!

Aww... but what if I get that "a Book" sold, what, do I need to like write another one, that's so... hard XD

Hey, what do you think I'm doing here? It takes me four days to copy one book; but at least every buyer of "Samuel Blackwood" gets his/her individual copy.

If only book printing had already been invented...

OMG! this must be why there's so little good children's book, pictures must take ages to copy ;)

joyful_molly April 29 2008, 22:41:52 UTC

Probably. I know how much time it takes me to cut all the letters out and glue them to the paper...

Who needs lemonade?
I'll be including a bottle of Jack Daniels, sake, and a dark chocolate Cadbury bar with mine! The "World Tour" edition. ;)

Make that Sapphire Bombay Gin, cider and a Curly Wurly, and I'll be the first to order! :-D
