Fresh Violet and up-deetery-datery
Anxiety is a fat steaming load and can get lost.
So, it's time for another infusion of stuff into the stuff-stream. I'm going to try and ride some generally positive recent feelings (it's been a good week or so, with greatly reduced anxiety symptoms and a weird sort of general clear-headedness I have tried not to take for granted) and see if I can't make several posts this week.
First, I have tweaked the ol' website and Violet flies again in Queen of the Iron Sands, which has been updated with a revised* and complete chapter 7, slightly re-titled:"Electric Armadillos and Invisible Men." That just leaves two chapters to post and we'll be at the end of BLUEWORLDER, the first third of the story. With JOHN CARTER coming out next week it might be a timely thing to try and get those up on or before March 9th.
Second, I have to traipse to the post office today and send a new round of books off to Book Valhalla (or, more ideally, to the people who ordered them). I'll be taking extreme caution with the customs forms to see if I can't ensure that none of the damned things boomerang back.
Third, I have a couple of books to discuss this week if I can manage it, including Myke Cole's Shadow Ops: Control Point and Howard Jones' The Desert of Souls.
Fourth, I may have a little bonus thingy going out soon-ish; a tiny present for those that have been kind enough to donate to the Queen of the Iron Sands project. Just a little knick-knack not for mass production. Let's just say that maybe Locke and Jean aren't the only cartoons I've commissioned recently.
Fifth, I have disabled comments recently because the thought of complex online conversation has done no good for my panic attacks. I feel mostly good about easing that restriction a bit. If I do flip out, I will of course be sure to bite Sam Sykes and give him a good case of my brain-rabies just so misery can have some company.
Sixth, well, there may be even more this week and it might be very cool. But there are some baby steps between now and then. So this is baby step one.
*The proofreading and revision of QOTIS in general is slow, but it is going on... I have learned to spell "desiccator" properly, and made the unfortunate discovery that the word "magnetosphere" would not have been known to Violet at the time she was kidnapped from Earth. I am also making progress on my experimental ebook format, but it's not ready for prime time yet. I could just kiss Guido Henkel for his tutorials, though.
