January 20th, 2009

Today I received the children’s book I wrote that supposed to be due out three months ago. The book is entitled The Christmas Adventures of Cowboy True. I’m glad the book is here. Jeff and Melissa Galpin, the illustrators on the project, did a wonderful job. The finished product is vibrant and eye catching. My only problem is IT’S JANUARY! So?the book will be in wide release for Christmas 2009. If you’d like an advanced copy email me and I’ll get one out to you. I’m off to LA at the end of this week. I’m feeling a little nervous about it. I really want these meetings to go well. One of my friends told me not to worry and to go and just “be myself.” “Be yourself” is about the worst advice you can give to some people. I’ve been doing that and it hasn’t worked out like I thought it would. I’ve narrowed down the careers I’m qualified to pursue should writing cease to be something that’s offered to me. A magician’s assistant and juggler are the only other skills I have. And I’m not very good a juggling. It’ll be okay, right? I am a little worried about driving to my appointment in LA. I am the worst driver. I should just drive a hearse and cut out the middleman. More later?I hope.
