Not too much to report this weekend...keeping busy with All the Writing, as always.
One thing I'm quite happy with is that I ordered the postcards for In My Blue World. Since it's only one cover and not three, I created a smaller 5x7 card (the trilogy card is a half-page). I also deliberately didn't put the entire book information on it, such as the release date or the ISBN -- which I don't have yet anyway -- so I can slap a 'coming soon' sticker on it. [And when I *do* get that info, I can put a label with that info on it then, and update the template for when I want to reorder.] They look really nice and I'm looking forward to handing them out at Worldcon!
Other writing news: coming up with new ideas and notes for a possible new Mendaihu Universe story! It's kind of funny, really...while writing some of these notes I actually had to stop and look up some planet names mentioned in the original trilogy that I couldn't remember! It's a good thing I'm a packrat and keep detailed notes! One thing that's surfacing with these sessions is that I think the story might expand to the other worlds that are part of the history but didn't get much stage presence in the original trilogy. [Another thing that's surfacing is that I seem to be creating another trilogy, where originally I was going to write a standalone, but this does not surprise me in the least.]
Anyhoo! Not much else going on today... going to head to the farmer's market, maybe do a bit of cleaning, and then get started on the coming week's blog entries.
