* No, I haven't heard anything back yet on the submissions. I sent a fourth out on Wednesday. To answer Dennis' question about why I'm not sending out more: There aren't that many publishers for the type of book this is. Still, I'm hopeful.
* In the meantime, I'm about half way through scripting 'Too Late for Smiling', and I'm really digging it. I'm wrapping up a sixteen page foot chase/gunfight that starts at The Majestic and works its way down to Bartle Hall. I used Google Maps to chart it out, which was really fun.
* I'm more than likely going to start drawing on it this weekend. The pictures in the last post are reference shots from the first twenty-odd pages.
* The opening sequence is going to be pretty cool, I think. I took a radio script I had written a couple of years back and incorporated it with what I had done on Empty House, the whole 'disembodied voice' thing, to create what I think will be a pretty chilling intro that sets the tone for the book and gives the backstory on the main character at the same time.
* At least, that's what I hope.
* The day job's not so weird anymore.
* I'm really looking forward to drawing again.
* Here's the floor plan for the apartment Katy and I are moving into:
Pretty chill, huh? We're each getting our own office and bathroom. It looks like we'll be getting all the space we need.
* The walk-in closet for the master bedroom is FUCKING HUGE. Hopefully it's big enough for all of Katy's shoes and purses.
* I get into work at seven, and don't normally put on my shoes until around 8:30.
* I want to do another big painting, but I'll probably hold off until after the move. Plus, I don't know what I want to do yet. Probably something KC-related this time.
