Today marks the end of The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/a><\/em> at Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual<\/a>. It’s been a long ride and I hope it was worth the price of admission, which is a pretty safe bet seeing as how it was free. Unless you’ve bought the book<\/a>, of course, which makes you My Hero.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the book, the Kickstarter hardcover edition is chugging along. I have to finish reviewing the (beautiful!) proof today and I haven’t heard anything new about the die for the cover stamp, but we’re making progress. The full color paperback edition is already available<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve completed my short list of changes for the Thrilling Tales site: it’s all ready now for its Intermission. That will start up on Thursday and it’ll run through the summer while I try to get ahead of you, both on Part Two of The Toaster With TWO BRAINS<\/em> and on the next Real Serial.. <\/p>\n

I’ve got a lot of preparation done for that next serial. (I even have a working title now!) I’m setting this project up with Celtx<\/a>. I was a little nervous about its proprietary format, given the limited number of ways you can export a project, but eventually I realized that whether it’s for the web or the print version I always just copy and paste anyhow. I do like its systems for adding notes and creating character descriptions, including images, and the index card system and Plot View look like they’re going to be pretty useful for me.<\/p>\n

I’ve picked up a refurbished Thinkpad so that I can realize my years-long ambition of writing out on the porch during fine weather… which we suddenly don’t have. The laptop remained a good deal even after I replaced a couple of missing things, but between you and me and the entire Internet it was still quite an extravagance. For me, I mean.<\/p>\n

So I hope you’ve enjoyed The Lair of the Clockwork Book<\/em><\/a>, and that you’ll think about buying it in print; and I hope you’ll also get a kick out of the upcoming Intermission. In the meantime I’ll be busy working on the things you’ll see after that summer-long feature concludes.<\/p>\n

For my part I’m looking forward to a somewhat more relaxed schedule. I should be able to get all caught up on TWO BRAINS<\/em> and still have plenty of serial pages for you to enjoy, and maybe even get another thing or two done along the way. That, anyway, is The Plan.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
