It is entitled “The Five Year Summer,” and it is an abridged account of why this project is running in October instead of in June. Which means, I suppose, it is an abridged excuse, though given its length, the term “abridged” is getting a nice long stretch of the sort Olympic athletes might get before a workout.
You can read it here! It includes pictures of flood-cut walls, new flooring, and a jackhammer pirate named Val.
As a reward for checking the project out, I’ve posted a link to the video of me creating that oh-so-drafty draft of the cover art. It’s under the Stretch Goals section. Have a look!
Our Dungeon Master is out of town, and our paladin is honeymooning, so it’s possible we’ll have a USB port open for an Art Cam!
Join us at 9pm Eastern for an hour (or two!) of animated¹ discussion, Q&A², and personal growth³.
¹ Art Cam notwithstanding, there will be no actual animation. Just (hopefully) me drawing stuff. ² If you want your Q’s A’d, join the chat! ³ None of us have had this discussion with each other, so inevitably we will grow from it. This is a thing that happens during discussions.
This Friday, October 11th, I’ll be on the Wasatch Campus of Utah Valley University for their Book Academy conference.
Kinda late notice, I know. Sorry about that!
I’m on a panel, “Grand Openings And Then What” (talking about beginnings of stories) at 11:00 am in room 202, and I’m teaching “Crafting Humor for the Page” at 3:30 pm in room 229.
Outside of those events, well, I’ll be at the conference all day. If you catch up with me in the hall I’m sure I’ll be helpful in some way.
