And it's way better for your long-term career to sell out a small print run than to have a huge print run and tons of returns.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah. I feel weird about it all, still. Muddling through on the next book. I'm not feeling partcularly passionate about it the way I was with the first one.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday CaBil!
Yay for selling out the run, Allyson!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can someone tell me when 30 minutes is up so I can take my TV dinner out of the oven?
(If not, I can use this post as a record of when I put it in....)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awesome, Allyson, and definitely what Susan said -- Exceeds Expectations is a great way to start!!
