Here's what I'm celebrating this week:
—Effigy has a cover. (Well, an e-book cover anyway. The paperback version will be coming along shortly.) I know I haven't shut up much about it lately on various social media forums—and I'm sorry for that—but it's exciting, and even though I'm also terrified by the idea, I can't wait to share it with all of you. The one downside to this achievement is that it's another cleared major hurdle on the path to publication. If this progress keeps up, I'll actually have to work out the problems I'm having with Effigy's sequel. Yikes! Anyway, there's a cover, and I love it.
—The Veronica Mars movie opens today. Some lucky bastards got to see the movie last night at an advanced showing. Some other lucky bastards are seeing the movie today. I have tickets for tomorrow, so today will be an exercise in patience and willpower. I say 'willpower' because sitting in my inbox right now is a link to a digital download of the movie and a PDF of the script itself. I will. not. open. them. until. Sunday. Please spare a kind thought for the three people accompanying me to the movie this weekend. I have no idea how they're going to not lock me in a basement until it's time to go. And then not shove me in the trunk of the car during the 2+ hour drive to the movie theater. The worst thing is that I'm really trying to contain myself and be a remotely normal person when this is what I'm like on the inside:
And probably the outside, too. I do suck at containing myself.
So that's going to do it for me today. I still have two more episodes to watch today.
What are you celebrating this week? Have a great weekend, all!
