reporting from gapingvoid central…

6 Comments

i. The Book. Some­time on Sun­day I finished the first draft of “EVIL PLANS”. Sent it off to the publisher yes­ter­day. Now begins the edi­ting and the pro­duc­tion. It hits the bookshops January 2011.

I’m already thin­king about a third book…

About mid-December I had this big ol’ panic attack; thin­king I’d bet­ter get to work on EVIL PLANS or else I’d miss the dead­line I’d set for myself. So I buried myself in the office and pulled my hair out for a cou­ple of weeks. All this while the Holi­day Sea­son was kic­king in– more hair pulling there as well, but that’s a story for another day etc.

Ok, so the dead­line was met in good time, but I’m a ner­vous wreck now…

ii. The News­let­ter, Phase Two. From the Sign-Up page:

“From early January, 2010, I’m star­ting a news­let­ter for you guys. The plan is to e-mail y’all a new, free car­toon every mor­ning at 6am, New York Time. I may inc­lude other stuff along with them– writ­ten obser­va­tions, tips, use­ful links etc– but regard­less, I’m hoping it’ll be something that starts your day off with a chuckle.”

Daily Car­toons and the occa­sio­nal long “Crazy, Deran­ged Fools” writ­ten piece. I hope you’ll sign up, Thanks. I’m hoping that launches any day now.

iii. Ummmm… Did I men­tion that I’m a ner­vous wreck now…?

     Richard, yeah, the current sign-ups will still be on the list… with a clear option to unsubsc­ribe if they don’t like it.

     Thanks for asking

   Yes. My Evil plan is to mas­ter your Evil plans, and your Evil plan is to sell your Evil plans. So we’re both will end up mee­ting somewhere.

   If the cha­llen­ges you laid out for your­self in the coming year don’t make you ner­vous, you wouldn’t be aiming high enough.

   I look for­ward to the daily emails.
