Thursdaily with funny Guppy story

I've been trying to get her to wear more than three of her favorite dresses.



I often ask her if she dreamed when I go collect her from her naps or in the morning. One afternoon, she told me, "Just one dream. It was TIE DYE!"

Which sounds like a perfectly lovely dream to have.

Newest coloring book approved for print.

Today's excitement is trying to track down an order to Sweden, which went to Anchorage, then to San Francisco. Then Anchorage. Then Fairbanks. Then Anchorage. Then Fairbanks. Then Anchorage. Then Fairbanks, a week ago. Nothing since. I double-checked both addresses, and it ought to be just fine. *baffled*

Okay, art now. Making a game try for this Finish Fest thing!

The coloring book count is really climbing! How many have you published this year? Or even month?

I wish all my dreams were tie-dye!!!

This month, only one! And only two last month, which is all I've done this year! I have two more minis lined up for the next few months, the full-sized one I just approved, and re-covers of Dotminatrix and Fantastrix. That's all until next year. Not so many, really. Really!

So you're putting out a new coloring book every ~2 months, plus upgrading existing ones ...?

Let's see - last year I did 7 new ones, plus several reprints. This year, it's going to be close to the same, but more spread out - not all at once with a Kickstarter. Some of the less-strong sellers are going to be culled as I run out, too. Sales are brisk enough to keep me adding new titles for now, though. Next year, I'm thinking I might do a Kickstarter in May for the year's new titles, but I'm not entirely convinced. They are a lot of work - do the new people that find me that way make it worth it, or is it better to do periodic releases to keep general interest up? Lots of unknowns!

OOOO, tie-dye dreams, so 70's!
