secondlinaROSE finally exists as a book. But I can't sell it before the launch so you guys are still going to have to way next monday for the list of stores/who wants to order thru me post kiddos!
The books look good. Kinda. I'm very angry at the cover. It's pixellated and odd. Aside from that, the rest seems pretty okay (just ignore me being a picky artist looking at her pages saying "I'm a crappy artist! I ink bad! Aaaah!" Because I don't have much self esteem.) For those of you requesting a photo of the book and those of you requesting photos of my new hair style here you go. Yep, it's blurry. Live with it XD.
The few people who have seen the book so far have had interesting comments. Lots of cool suggestions. However, I was amused by a somewhat sexist comment a guy-friend of mine said: "This book is so very like you!" Intrigued, I asked "How so?" ...thinking he was gonna bring up something about the creepy or the angst. But nope he said: "The book is like you because it is about heartbreak and female emotions. You know, drama. Ladies stuff."
I kinda laughed at him, stated that I never have been heartbroken in my life and therefore invented the whole thing and that associating "Ladies" with "Emotions and drama" was sexist. Then he said "But you don't see female writers write about anything else!"
Dammit, where is a good copy of an Agatha Christie of Mary Shelley novel when you need to smack people on the head with it?
Still on the subject of "Ladies", you kids have to watch Demitri Martin on youtube. He is a quirky and hilarious comedian who finds humor in everyday language. And because he is a master virtuoso of language, I have a huge crush on him. I especially like this skit where he made the observation that by simply adding a pause and the word "ladies?" to the end of any phrase, you can instantly make it creepy.
Again, on the subject of "Ladies" (THEEEEEEMEEE!), I made a drawing with all the leading ladies from Tim Burton films. I love this drawing. I really want to finish it!
The "ladies" - Emily (Corpse bride), Catowman (Batman Returns), Lydia (Beetlejuice - cartoon style), Alien chick (Mars Attack), Katrina (Sleepy Hollow), Alice (Alice in Wonderland), The Siamese Twins (Big Fish), Mrs Lovett (Sweeney Todd), Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) and Kim (Edward Scissorhands).
Tim Burton seems to like blonds.
Time for sleep now!
