kiki_eng1) The first trade paperback of Lumberjanes came out! So, I am now, the, uh, proud owner of three copies of the first eight four issues of Lumberjanes. I am only keeping two of them, it's fine. (It is! The floppies have all of that floppy goodness including these rad mix tapes in the back and the trade, that I have not read yet has bits from the Lumberjanes handbook as it's chapter headings and cover art in the back. I'm excited. (I wrote about Lumberjanes here last year and the first eight issues were basically everything that I wanted.)
2) A copy of the ninth issue finally came in for me, so, now I can finally read the rest of the ones that are out, it is so fantastic. I have lots to read, including the first two issues of Silk, No.s 1-4 of Delphine by Richard Sala, the first trade of Saga, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, Go Jump in the Pool by Gordon Korman, The Tempest by William Shakespeare, and La gloire de mon père by Marcel Pagnol. ...and all of the stuff I actually need to read first because I am a responsible adult, maybe, sort of, IDK. There are so many books.
3) I have written actual words for my WIP of shame today. A thing that I posted bits of publicly and haven't updated in almost four years. There was a thing that went by my dash on tumblr that was something like if you're writing something and you're stuck it's because you've written something wrong - go back and fix it, keep writing and I have new words for that story now. I am so excited about this.
4) I have been absent from dreamwidth. I have a couple things that I have not yet replied to that I am sort of eyeing with shame right now. I don't know. It's one of those things where it's sort of a saga of and then life happened. (Internet issues and then other projects, basically. I got a lot done in March and was very social in February.) Anyway: hi?
Edited: Because reading numbers and books is hard. (It has been a month.)

So many excellent books! I've been thinking about Orczy as well for a while, but honestly what is time. I am giving myself time to read a fic or two during the holidays.

Date: 2015-04-30 03:59 am (UTC)The Lumberjanes trade is something I still haven't gotten around to reading. I am with you on the where is the rest of my arc, what are these shenanigans feels. It is an okay thickness and some of the cover art is really pretty, though? I have been slightly zombie-like recently, and there has been some brain-fry, so I completely failed to notice this on my own. (I didn't get to anything on that list until two days ago and it's been Silk and I'm part way through the Gordon Korman book. So.)
How are you?
