i love this guy...and a little update

at a loss for words? not sure where to turn? visit andy havens's Etsy Shop - Strong Words: Poetry, Insults & Other Verbal Buggery.

seriously. this guy will, for a fee, write a wedding toast, a love sonnet, your wedding vows or an insult of the length and harshness of your choosing.

i wonder if he's available to write a knitting book?

[i love etsy.]

despite what this might lead you to believe, work on No Sheep is continuing and we've got serious progress, people. sorry to the LK crowd, and Denny in particular, for missing my scheduled weekly union break, but i was in a groove and i wasn't going to do anything to get out of it. like answer questions about how the book is going [which would cause me to panic which i find less conducive to writing a decent sentence]. you read what the harlot said on the subject. it's different for me, but the same. we write different kinds of books, and thankfully, there's much less pressure on me to be witty [not that i don't try].

right now, it's all about continuing research, phone calls, e-mails and -- oh yeah -- getting it all down in coherent form on a daily basis.

i've also chosen someone fabulous to do the illustrations and am waiting for Interweave's blessing. [just got it! it's Tania Howells...can you stand it? i'm so excited!]

by the way -- Interweave has been a joy to work with on this book in every aspect. i feel very fortunate.

New York is definitely a go. I've heard there may be things happening on the 15th and 17th as well, but until it's all firm, I'll just hold my tongue. I can't wait! I get to give Thumper tummy raspberries! I'm just sorry that the trip comes too late for me to do the same with Squeeky. Safe travels, V!
