Yep, I shifted the gears of my brain almost on time<\/em> to return to the final illustrations for The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I skinned my fourteen new semi-generic characters – very few of whom turned out to be<\/em> generic – to their skeletons. I wish I had thirty or forty of them, but when all’s said and done it’s just me here in the Secret Laboratory and, well, I sleep sometimes. I’m not sure what’s causing that.<\/p>\n

To further complicate things I’m now working on a CD packaging project for Leslie Fish<\/a>‘s upcoming Avalon is Risen<\/em>, from Prometheus Music<\/a>. I’m happy to be doing some Celtic knotwork on the side again but it’s also a pleasure to do because it’s been twenty-five years, somehow, since I did the cover and illustrated songbook for Leslie’s Cold Iron<\/em>. It’s nice to see the old neighborhood again.<\/p>\n

But as you might expect that makes my schedule for the next month or so even more exciting than it was before.<\/p>\n

I’ll be finishing the last couple of dozen Clockwork Book<\/em> illustrations in this phase. Once those are done I really do have to do some re-evaluation of how Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual<\/em> is running my life – I love working on the stories, and a serial is a necessary part of the site, but the serial’s inflexible schedule has made it very hard for me to complete Part Two of The Toaster With TWO BRAINS <\/em>which – for those of you who remember – was the main focus of Thrilling Tales<\/em> in the beginnning.<\/p>\n

\"TheI wouldn’t want to have a hiatus before the next serial starts; but that’s one of several things that could happen once The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em> concludes. And I have some format changes in mind for the next serial.<\/p>\n

It may have longer updates that come just once a week, for example, and what I have planned for those updates won’t fit so well into the existing layout of the site. So whatever happens I’ll have a lot to do before you even see the final page of the Clockwork Book<\/em>. One way or another I just have to be able to set aside the time to work on TWO BRAINS<\/em>, not to mention any other freelance jobs that come in. And somewhere in there I’ll be laying out the print version of The Clockwork Book<\/em>, too.<\/p>\n

So the short version (too late!) is that The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em> is headed toward completion, although it’s sharing my days with the CD project; that I’ll have at least as much to do while those pages play out for you; and that my serial schedule has been playing hell with TWO BRAINS<\/em> and everything else. Film at eleven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
