But it is not all procrastination around my house. Today in a flurry of excitement, I drew the mini-comic that is meant to accompany pre-ordered copies of my next book. It is called "Erin Winters and the bone throne (of bones)" and it is the most amazing* thing I have ever created. To be absolutely honest I drew it the wrong way round (I tricked myself into drawing it by pretending I was just having a laugh, otherwise it would never have got done) and now I have no idea how it will be successfully placed into an envelope without being crushed by the slightly larger book it accompanies. Oh dear.
If I had made all my Erin Winters stories like this one, I'd never have written her out! It's a new lease of life for an old face.
* As amazing as something 4 pages long can be under the circumstances. It is green!

You could perhaps listen to Ken Nordine's "Colors" and see what strikes you. Whichever song becomes sentient and throws something from the mantle at your head could be the color you're looking for.
There is always room for Ken Nordine's Colors in my home so I will play it on repeat until I become one with the hues. I have the extended version with bonus colours!!
I recommend Homebase's "Buttermilk". A nice sort of pale sunny yellow. There.
Unless you don't like yellow, or have lots of purple, red or pink furnishings, of course.
I'm confident that if you can master giving new leases of life to old faces that will prove to be a highly profitable income stream in it's own right. Look at the people who invented buttox, after all! And that's not even a new lease of life, more a flesh-destroying bacterial toxin.
I am so looking forward to the new book!
Yesss, Erin!
Also, how frequently are you updating the comic these days? The title still says "Monday-Friday Comic" but that seems unlikely.
I have updated the title in question. I now take Wednesdays off for my own sanity.
