Vacational Activities
Not that I didn’t do anything, mind. I mean, I gave my entire yard a makeover for one, trucking five loads of wooden detritus to the transfer station (and picking up a punching bag I get to look forward to hanging). I also reorganized some things that had fallen by the wayside, painted and repaired a built-in cabinet, re-polyurethaned the kitchen floor after it’d been scratched and chipped to shit, and a few others things I just can’t happen to remember this moment but I’m certain were completed. Oh, I also fractured a toe and got covered head to knee in poison ivy/oak somehow or another. Still itches.
These four, though—them not being done? It irks me to no end.
- Finish the first pass of The Nobodies for print
- Finish the chapter head imagery for The Nobodies
- Finalize all imagery for the Children’s Book
- Look up agents for the Children’s Book
The other night, I mocked up the first of the chapter head images for The Nobodies too. This I’m doing entirely digitally—a first for me. The process is a bit different, and takes some getting used to, but so far, so good. That first is about done, but not ready to share just yet, and I plan on doing the others this week or so. Maybe I’ll be able to go on about them more next time.
I also did finish that first pass through the book for print, just not before the vacation ended. I ended up lumping off about 5,000 words I felt weren’t needed, and will probably have more surgically removed on the next pass. Who knows.
What I do know, is that it’s sexy. Yes, quite a sexy book. And getting sexier all the time. Really, you could put it in some thigh-high fishnets and it’d show you a dang good time, I tell you. Or maybe some silky boy shorts if that’s more your thing. Whatever you feel like doing. Just play nice.
