In the Mail: A CONVENTIONAL BOY.

Time to see what’s freaking out Charlie Stross this month! A CONVENTIONAL BOY is about D&D, so your guess is as good as mine. Presumably… never mind. That thought is unkind of me.

Sorry: it’s the usual problem. Charles Stross is an excellent writer who gets frightened over things that don’t particularly scare me. It really makes it hard to contemplate his books as horror, sometimes.

Adventures in Photoshop!

Or, today is the day I’m learning how to prep images for a printer. I feel bad for the poor woman having to walk me through this. On the other hand, it’s pretty clear by now that I’m ordering art prints from this company, so I guess it’ll all work out. It’s probably not such an annoyance if you know there’s a chance for some long-term business.

Now I just have to figure out how much to sell them for. 11×14 probably… ten bucks, maybe? Five? Depends, really. I’m probably doing other things wrong, but what the heck. It’s a learning experience.

PS: It’s also a cash outflow, so buy my books, check out my Patreon, and sign up for my Backerkit. Or buy me a Ko-fi. Or… ehh, that’s probably enough.

You have to wonder. Anyway, I’ve seen this myself, and as a reader, I find it annoying. Mind you, as a writer it just puts more money in the pockets of independent authors, so that’s something, at least. Speaking of… buy my books!

Ah, yes, my Redbubble store.

I have been reminded that I have one. God, I really do have the ‘artist who is clueless about merchandising’ trope down, don’t I? I’m not even mad. I don’t know how to do calculus or drive a big rig, either. There’s a lot of useful skills out there, you know. I can’t be expected to learn them all.
