And it was a good day off, thank you very much. Spooky and I drove around all afternoon listening to the new Future Bible Heroes ep (The Lonely Robot), doing nothing in particular. Doing nothing that needed doing. That's a very strange thing for me.
Today, though, the work on the Low Red Moon proofreading begins. Simultaneously proofing two editions (Roc's CEM and Subterranean Press' proofs). I'll be reading from Roc's, Spooky from Subterranean Press'. Jennifer will go through the Roc CEM separately. I need to get through two or three chapters a day, as I'm so far behind on everything. And I'd been needing something to nudge my interests back towards the novel. Fortunately, it came this morning, in the form of a rough draft of Ryan Obermeyer's cover for the Subterranean Press edition. Absolutely gorgeous.
And, of course, I have a paragraph of "Riding the White Bull" to tweak or toss. Then that story will be done.
A couple of people e-mailed Jennifer, worried that the Cat Crutches Auction had ended. Worry not. We still have tons of cool stuff. Spooky and I were just taking a break, trying to get caught up on everything. I think I have only one more of the ARCs for The Five of Cups, so the next one that goes up will probably be your last chance to pick one up from me. We have more books, Nyarlathotep cds, Salammbô t-shirts, and comics, as well.
That's it for this morning. Ah, thanks to Kirin for writing to remind me of the full lunar eclipse on May 15th! Later . . .
