Still going through submissions, still answering emails.

Gaming was fun last night - we're doing Amber again, which I have to admit I love, and I got to ressurect Karleva for the game, so that makes me smile. :)

You know what's depressing? Other than the auction for the 2nd artists proof, I haven't sold a single copy of Dotminatrix. Not one, though several hundred people have seen it. Talk about a blow to the ego. Well, I guess we'll see if any move when it's posted at EMG. I'm not taking it as hard as I could. No time to feel bad about it! Must push on to the next project!

You know what's great? Finding glowing recommendations for my services. You can't BUY advertising like that. I'd be smug, but I don't have time to be smug anymore than I do to feel depressed. And anyway, they cancel out, right?

Erk... something is very, very wrong with the way I'm sitting and I'm getting shooting pains down my legs... Stupid back.

Selling things is odd (why am I telling you this?) We have had some surprises - like the fact that the book has been harder to sell than the cards (they have gone really well). We expected the opposite - and were continually told that books sell better. Not for us! But I'd guess it's about marketing (we did none for the book, as the decision to do it was last-minute) and also about distribution of course - we are just better at understanding how to distribute tarots. With the books, this is all stuff we're now learning as we go along.

I think you're right not to take it to heart. It's probably to do with a lot of things other than the actual product (which looks very well done to me). It's important to just carry on - and focus on those glowing recommendations!
