One little star, shining on through the night...

Hopefully with a mass market version of both to follow. :D

But looking at it makes *us* happy! Hey, could Velveteen ever be a graphic novel? Or is that already in the works and I haven't been paying attention? I may be an idiot here - but if not, that would rock!

If a graphic novel of Vel ever happens, James Denton should be the one to illustrate it. I really like his style.

December 14 2012, 15:58:21 UTC 4 years ago

No one has made an offer yet!

I keep checking to see if an Australian date has materialized...dunno how you'd fit it in but I can dream.

December 14 2012, 15:58:33 UTC 4 years ago

Not in 2013, I'm afraid. :(

Lots of cool Velveteen in the future, always welcome.

Yay!

sky begins to fill, darkness ends the day, someone who I love is far away...

I sang that song in a school Muppet/Sesame-themed production - in fact, I think it was my first-ever solo. And I've spent the last 25 years or so thinking I was the only person on this PLANET who remembered that song - clearly an incorrect assumption. :)

December 14 2012, 16:00:37 UTC 4 years ago

I love a) the song, and b) the movie. It is a place I go for comfort.

I am sad that Westercon does not appear to be on your schedule, but you need to have some non-convention time to write and all, so I will soldier on. ;)

December 14 2012, 16:03:06 UTC 4 years ago

Pretty much, sadly. Sleep is vital to my not flipping out and killing everyone.

My reaction to "Velveteen vs. the Epilogue":

At first: "Yay! I want to know what happens RIGHT NOW."

Followed immediately by: "But, then it might be... over" *sad, hunched shoulders*

Thank you for making 2013 look more and more interesting!

December 14 2012, 16:03:21 UTC 4 years ago

That is, sadly, the last story of the current act.

EEEEE! I live in San Antonio!
Ouch, $180.
This will require thought.

December 14 2012, 16:04:44 UTC 4 years ago

Is there a Buca de Beppo in the area?

Modern hand baskets are like jet fighters. The computer navigation doesn't work if you don't keep tracking of the timing properly.

December 14 2012, 16:05:03 UTC 4 years ago

Precisely.

This is largely irrelevant, but I want to tell you something cute that happened tonight. I was picking up holiday stuff, and stopped to grab a bite to eat on the way home. I usually have a book in my purse to read while I'm eating, and as I was reading, one of the waitresses stopped by my table and said, "Oooh! You're reading A Local Habitation! I love that book!" And we had a nice chat about how generally awesome your books are. I thought that was nice. :)

That's fantastic!
