Not My World

So I just got off the phone from a conference call with my agent and somebody else’s agent (you know their stuff) and we discussed the possibility of various options for Dragonbreath, none of which I am going to talk about now, and would ask that y’all refrain from speculation, since I can’t say anything, and in the way of all things, even if ( Read more... )

I wish you all the luck of striking the entertainment lottery! I have my own experiences of said, only they did not end as well so I shan't repeat them here. But I really hope you do hit pay dirt. ^.^

Sounds perfectly normal to me!

I know you said not to speculate, but I couldn't help thinking for a second about Dragonbreath as a cartoon - and the comparison that popped into my mind was Phineas and Ferb!

YES! THIS! With less music and more snark! And no annoying older sister!

I heart Phineas & Ferb, but I'm getting really sick of Candace. Are teenagers that neurotic these days? My daughter is five, I'm so dreading adolescence.

Pedestal Lite! A nice little brick of alabastar, that they can put one foot upon for you to go "Oooh." for five minutes or so until you notice they're eating a burrito, or doing something else normal.

*laugh* I'll take wonderful in the sense that I wonder what I'm doing a LOT...that counts, right?

Seriously, though, anybody who does "aloof published author" is probably deluding themselves. I figure there's maybe a double handful of authors that can't actually go to the grocery store without being recognizing (JK Rowling...Stephen King...uh...okay, drawing a blank past that...) Most of the rest of us only get to be famous at conventions and on the internet. We still have to do our own shopping and scrub our own toilets and pull our own weeds.

JK is currently building a new house in the centre of a wood near my wife's family village just north of London. She's picked the best area to not get noticed. No one ever looks up from their iPhones. If they walked directly into her in the street they would just mumble sorry without looking up. That being said she might never find her way off the land. When it's foggy in there it's like Narnia.
