My corkboard.

I have a corkboard on my desk. I periodically take it down and reorganize the weird scrapbook I have going on, because it helps me think. (Having the scrapbook also helps me think. It's a thing. A weird brain thing that I don't really understand.) After yesterday's re-org, the corkboard now displays:

* A print of a vintage Halloween image. (It's a postcard from BPAL.)
* A postcard for The Nocturnals, showing Halloween girl looking creepy.
* A postcard of some lovely women with lots of guns. I assume they're supposed to be freedom-fighters. I just consider them Healys.
* A picture of Leela.
* A card signed by the lead singer of the Counting Crows.
* A lovely card I received with a hand-drawn chainsaw on it. A My Little Chainsaw.
* Two Polaroids of Lilly the day I paid for her. So small!
* A postcard for the current X-Men story arc.
* A picture of my mother.
* A monkey postcard from Amy.
* A lovely card from Wes and Mary.
* A Supernatural promo postcard from the Comicon where the show premiered.
* A Belle sticker that reads 'Kiss my Tiara!'.
* Set lists for my last four concerts.
* Adorable mini-portraits by the fabulous Katie Curtis of Clady (the lead character in Lycanthropy and Other Personal Issues) and the Mason twins (the lead characters in Newsflesh).
* Another mini-portrait by Katie, showing Godzilla in love with a skyscraper.
* The ticket stubs from seeing Stephen King live, sitting in the splatter zone at Evil Dead, and attending Little Shop of Horrors.

Looking at this list, there's only one thing I can say:

I am very odd.

Hi Seanan. It sounds like a great corkboard to me. :)

I discovered your blog last week and find it very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading your books.

Have a great weekend!

Hi! Welcome! And yay!

I still get sort of giggly when people say 'I'm looking forward to reading your books.' I've been writing this series for ages, and to have it finally on the horizon is just amazing. So exciting!
