You can support my novel so you can have a gift to give NEXT year:

I want to postpone the dinner until the summer of 2013 or so.  As your principle backer, I am sure we can figure out a mutually acceptable date...

Oh, and every time I try to work on MSY, something horrible happens. First the bin where I was keeping all of the boards got flooded when water came in through my window, then I got bedbugs, and I moved the bin into storage so they wouldn't get in it, then I moved into a place that gave me zero motivation because I was afraid the fucking ceiling or windows were going to give at any minute, then my computer died, and I lost all of my original scans because my hard drive can't be recovered, and THEN, my scanner died.

Fortunately, I've been more productive in the 2 weeks I've lived here then I have been since I lived at the Monastery. I have a nice room where I have my drafting table set up, I just need to grab a couple more pencils and some new ink brushes next time I'm at an art store (and remember) and I'm good to go. I just want to try a different format for setting the books up, and I need InDesign, which I'm going to try to steal commandeer borrow at work.

It's a little late for that.  The local distributor dropped me months ago.  We could make it available for PDers, I suppose.

Thing is, I am never doing another graphic novel.  The artist on #3 flaked out on me as well, and I'm out quite a C-notes with nothing at all to show for it, except a name in the local market as one who can't make a deadline, along with 99% of writers and artists.  The entire series should have been done by now, and even the pessimistic schedule I gave Charley has now been blown by over a year.  He's already told me he won't carry my stuff because of this.  This means zero hope of making any non-PD sales, which means certain red ink.

I will in fact say that I am never doing a collaborative project ever again.  If I publish something, it's going to be text.  If I decide on illustrations, it's cash on the fucking barrelhead.  None of this "pay in advance" shit (which I normally would never have done anyway), and nothing at all without a contract.

If I sound a little bitter, it's because I am.

If you ever decide to work with an illustrator again, I highly recommend buying the latest version of "Pricing and Ethical Guidelines" by the Graphic Artists Guild. It's full of boilerplate contracts, baseline pay rates, industry standards and the technical reasons behind them, legal issues that would pertain to your specific situation, and all sorts of highly useful information.

It is written just as much for art buyers as it is for artists.

Dude, that was YOU? HOLY SHIT. Thanks!

[Cain]

Turns out I have money now, and not a lot to spend it on.  Might as well support people here.  Once I sort out my banking details and Paypal stuff, I'll likely drop a similar sum off to Faust for the server.

[Suu]

Well, it was a very nice surprise to wake up to, that's for sure.

[Cain]

I bet.  I was originally going to go for $50, but then I saw the offer of dinner, and checked the conversion rate, and well...

And you realized that American home cooking is far superior than anything English.

Maybe I'll make ornaments this year. Delicious ornaments.

If I do I'll post pictures. And you will buy them.
OR I WILL DESTROY YOU.

You need to come over for Christmas Eve this year if you can! Mom is requiring that people coming over need to make an ornament for the tiki hut tree. They are required to be handmade or crafted in some fashion, and the subject matter is completely open. 

Sometimes, I swear she sets this shit up to see what kind of Horrible^TM people come up with.

Even if I don't go over there (don't know my work schedule) I'll still make her one.
