Got to go to the Neil Gaiman reading on Tuesday. God, I love that man. He read the second half of chapter seven from The Graveyard Book, which was a bit of mixed blessing, because it meant that I got spoiled. On the other, I got to hear Neil Gaiman read the climax of his latest book in person. Awesome!
There was no signing, but pre-signed books were available. So, I bought a signed copy of The Graveyard Book as well as the Neverwhere miniseries. That means that I can finally return the copy that![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
rocknlobster sent me in her infinite goodness, and which I have yet to return, months later. But now I will! Any day now!
Oh, andtekararogue, you will be happy to know that Neil was asked how he intends to prepare for the upcoming zombie invasion. He told us that was very terrified, but was willing to support our new zombie overlords, and was waiting to know if the zombies were going to need people to write stories, or if he was just going to be brains.
I love that man.
In other words, I've signed up forspringkink again. And this time I plan on finishing all of my claims! Oh god, I suck so bad. But I pounded out one of them today. This is far less impressive than it sounds. My stories are so very, very short that writing a first draft in one day shouldn't difficult at all. But I rarely manage to write something in one sitting, so I'm happy. Now I just need to find a beta for it. Curse the small number of Count Cain fans on my flist. (Er, I mean, curse the fact that I have such a small number of Count Cain fans on my flist, not that the Count Cain fans on my flist should be cursed.)
