I&#8217;ve been very busy with working on the assets for the next <em><a href=\"http:\/\/thrilling-tales.webomator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thrilling Tales<\/a><\/em> stories, in the mornings, and fleeing down the stairs of the Secret Laboratory to escape from the heat, in the afternoons. Or anyway that&#8217;s how it often happens. By late evening it&#8217;s sometimes safe to come back up here.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In other news, yesterday I mailed off the last of the rewards for the <em>Thrilling Tales<\/em> Kickstarter project. I should probably write up my Kickstarter experience sometime soon (before I forget). It was an interesting journey and I learned some things that I expected to learn, and a few that were a complete surprise.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">By the way, if your name is Michael Church or Alain Cayrol, please get in touch with me through the Kickstarter messaging system. I still have no idea where to send your stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;text-indent:0px;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:12px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/grafx2\/blog\/thrilling_Lew_preview.jpg\" alt=\"Lew Stone:  Too sane for mad science?\" width=\"420\" height=\"704\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">You can see from the illustrations here that I&#8217;m not doing the sensible thing. The <em>sensible thing<\/em>, you see, would be to concentrate on the <em>Clockwork Book<\/em> stories first because I need to start posting them while I work on the <em>Toaster With TWO BRAINS<\/em>. It probably wouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone who knows me to see that I&#8217;ve failed the sensibility test.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">My brain likes to bounce back and forth between the two, anyway, and since that seems to be working for me I&#8217;m not going to impose any more order on it. I won&#8217;t need to exercise that kind of discipline until I&#8217;m done with one or both of the scripts. I&#8217;m thinking about writing the scripts for both Part Two and Part Three of <em>The Toaster With TWO BRAINS,<\/em> so that I can start on Part Three as soon as Part Two&#8217;s done. We&#8217;ll see if I&#8217;m sensible enough to follow through on that idea. Hmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August is nearly half over and here&#8217;s my first post of the month.
