I was feeling sick and run-down yesterday (and as recently as this morning), so I slept in until noon. I feel much better now.
Not everything is Roses, though….The first email I read today informed me that Steve Haight, one of the regulars of my gaming group in college, died in a car accident this weekend. I hadn’t seen or talked to him in about 10 years, but it hit pretty hard nonetheless.
Moving on to less weighty matters:
I have a new desktop wallpaper —
Work on the novel continues. I’m purposefully not giving it a title yet, because the minute I give it a title, I start thinking in terms of marketing and branding….right now, I want to concentrate on writing the damned thing. Copies of the first batch of pages will be going out to writing group folks on Thursday.
A fellow publisher, Expeditious Retreat Press, has signed a license with the guys who did the “Fear of Girls” film, and they’ll be releasing the adventure The Pleasure Prison of the Bthuvian Demon Whore soon. Brilliant….wish I had thought of it.
that’s hilarious, regarding the Pleasure Prison.
I hope you let Laura watch that!
I’m working on the novel myself. sigh. it’s going a lot better than last week, though. revisions be damned!!!
Nope, not yet. Pout.
Remind me when you get home.
Oh! Pretty Icon!
I’m running into all sorts of people who knew Steve today. Did we have any classes together?
Dunno. I didn’t meet him through classes. I met him through KUGAR (the KU Gamers And Roleplayers).
I loves me some Expeditious Retreat. My wife considers it to be awesome as well. I guess they didn’t move to China as planned…
Ah. I knew of KUGAR, but unfortunately lived 30 miles off-campus and worked 2 jobs at the time. Luckily the O-SO-GOOD (Olathe Society Of Gamers Or Original Dungeoneers) was going strong.
They did, actually. They’re back. It wasn’t a permanent thing.
I think it was India, not China.
But yeah, they’re now in Austin.
ah, it seemed like they were speaking of years…
cool.
Fuck.
Not only did I know him, his kid and Pari have had play dates.
Just checked my email. Crap.
You’re right, it was India. They were there for four months.
