Thank God It’s the Weekend

This week was one of the most taxing in recent memory. We got not one, but TWO books out to the printer, and the sheer time commitment involved, as well as trying to get the day job wrapped up for the holiday has been pretty damn exhausting. I'm taking the bulk of the weekend off, so, hopefully, I'll be back in the swing of things shortly.

Oh, and Donkey Konga rules.

2 books off to the printer

I just sent Issue 2 of Western Tales of Terror and Issue 1 of Elk's Run off to the printer. It's been a helluva week trying to get them out, and I'm glad to see it over with. Now the fun part of waiting for the proofs to come and cause me to freak out over the tiniest mistakes possible. Woo.

Hoo.

Can't wait to have these books in my hands.

The Scott Baio Story.
