I always kinda pictured Purgatory like the room of requirement out of Harry Potter. It automatically becomes what you need.

Brilliant.

In honor of vol. 7, I give you...

The Star Wars cantina:

A bull rider:

And Edvard Munch's "The Scream":

(Thanks for correction, Blond! Snappy = not an art major, lol)

Enjoy!

Caleb - I mostly jest. My parents moved the week after I went to college, so off I went and the next time I came home it was no longer "home." They did tell me the address, though.

ETA: OMG I finally broke 200 days on that stupid pregnancy calculator! YES.

My parents really did move & not tell me the address. So I go home for Thanksgiving & go to my grandparents' house. My mother called all panicked at like midnight, wondering if they'd seen me. I said, "Dude, I don't know where your new house is!"

And bravo on your mad plumbing skillz!"

Love these!

Awake way too early, so going back to sleep soon. Today (after I wake up for real), I reformat my ms to meet the requirements of ePub and start doing research for small presses to submit to.

AWESOMENESS.

Well, now we have to have the Death Star Canteen, too, don't we?

We just had a fire drill. Personally, I think Caleb pulled the alarm so he didn't have to have his meeting with Flaky Boss.

i made $500 on two pieces of art this
week! (waiting to be paid--one is *very*
delinquent payment.) so that's wonderful
news, isn't it? hoorah!

as an aside, i think i can sell my baby pandas
like gangbusters. i made about 4 good paintings
of baby panda when i was practicing. i think it's
my most popular painting. i sold the last as
i had gifted others to baby panda lovin' friends. =D

Calla Lily · May 3, 2012

X-cin, that's excellent! (note that assonance there, TYVM *preens*)

phoenix · May 3, 2012

That's wonderful, X-Cin!

I'm working at the library today for a change of pace. It is disturbingly quiet.

Ka-CHING! Everyone loves baby pandas. I'm going to go check out your shop, I haven't in a while!

You know what the new Purgatory needs?

Shoes.

Brandy · May 3, 2012

Oh, and just for logistical purposes since this is, you know, a new volume ...

SPECIAL SCHEDULING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PV7:

My birthday, May 6, falls on a Sunday, so the Third Annual Hot-Chicks Steve's Birthday Celebration will be held on Monday, May 7.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

My photobucket account is full to the brim.

Question: what's a reasonable timeframe for me to complete this kind of overhaul? I'm going to need to have it betaed again, but I don't want her going "omg, I don't want to work with her because she's never going to turn stuff in!"

Totally subjective because everyone works at a different pace, but I will say this: if you turn it in early just to turn it in early, or because you're so excited you just can't wait anymore, and it's not ready, you will probably not get another chance with this editor.

Just to keep in mind.

I feel like this post just added Xiao to some sort of WWF watch list...

Bluestone · May 3, 2012

Morning purgies!

Blond, love the shoes!

Steve, duly noted!! You will not be disappointed!

X-Cin, love your paintings so much. I'm so glad this is a source of both enjoyment and income for you. Win!

Jo, you are DA MAN alright! Congrats on the move and hope you get some help on the unpacking now!

Blondchen · May 3, 2012

Heh.

So I just got an email from one of the assistant editors at my pub asking for character descriptions for 3:59 to give to design.

They're starting to brainstorm a cover for a book I haven't even finished writing yet.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I can't even remember what the characters look like!

No. She was the one that disappeared when the alarm went off. I think she pulled it so she wouldn't be stuck in a room with me.
