Men and Rape: Over 200 comments now, inclusing some very insightful discussion, as well as some powerful stories.
Goblin Books: According to my 2007 end-of-year royalties numbers, it looks like Goblin Quest has earned out its advance ... except that the reserve against return means it hasn't really. Currently, DAW is holding 4000 copies in reserve on Quest, and 4500 on Hero. That number should continue to decline as time passes, and I'm also pretty certain that sales from the beginning of 2008 would also push Goblin Quest over the "Earned out" point. So it's not official yet, but looks very promising.
Family: Sick kids. Sleepy parents. It's been a fun week.
The Mermaid's Madness: Passed 60,000 words on the rewrite yesterday. Ah, yes. I remember this part of the story. This is the part where Jim's plotting skills took a vacation in Hawaii, leaving several chapters of incoherent crap to fix up. What fun...
Purely Random Update: I love the fact that the Transformers Animated show has a character based on The Tick. He's voiced by the same actor who did the Tick cartoon, and he even gets Tick-like lines, shouting "Energon-y goodness!" and similar things. It's a shame he's such a jerk.

Publishing is slow. The money will show up eventually.
That's neat. Thanks.
Not my favorite part of the whole writing thing...
Didn't see Qwest or Hero on the shelf, but the rack was really chaotic. Not organized in any fashion I could see.
Now if only Walmart would follow suit...
They had a roughly 4' wide by 5' tall rack, all paperbacks in the SF/F section.
Oh, and the books were all front cover out, not spine out. Also stacked 3 deep, but not all the books in the "stack" were the same book, or some author. Like I said, kind of chaotic.
Also, sold at full price and not marked with any sort of discount.
And wow. Sentinel Prime sounds awesome. I used to love The Tick.
Heh heh heh... nice touch on the Tick trivia. Are you - or the kids - watching Transformers Animated? is it worth watching?
I'm enjoying it so far. It took some getting used to. I grew up with the original series in the 80s, so it took a while to adjust to much weaker Autobots and much more powerful Decepticons. But it's been pretty good, and there are an awful lot of inside jokes and nods to the original series.
(They won't be getting War for a while, as policy says books must be out for at least 6 months first. Don't get that, but *shrug*)
