I’ve got just a few days left before I need to shift back to the illustrations for The Lair of the Clockwork Book, so I’m trying all the harder to make some more progress on my other Thrilling Tale, which is Part Two of The Toaster With Two Brains. As you see here I’m back in the laboratory of Doctor Rognvald in the Tower of the Brain Thieves.
That’s not, in fact, where the story begins; but because this Tale will go live all at once, rather than in a serial, I don’t have to start at the beginning. This is the sixth of about a hundred and twenty illustrations. So, you know, although I’m happy to be making progress, the progress isn’t all that measurable just yet. It’s a marathon – not a sprint.
There’s something potentially pretty neat in the wind. It’s so speculative that I can’t say a thing about it and (speculative things being what they are) it’ll probably be quite awhile before that changes, if ever. Consider it a mystery, and cross your fingers for me.
I looked at the date very carefully before reading this post, read it, and then wondered, what’s the catch?
(Actually the *first* thing I did was squeee when I saw the illustration, and THEN I remembered what day it was posted and got a little cautious…)
And just a hint of potential mysterious things to come didn’t square with the date either. Days like the 1st are meant for bold announcements of week-long airship cruises to other climes and years, not mysterious hints.
So I’m cautiously deciding this is all on the up and up. Fingers are crossed for you!
Oh, if I’d been doing an April Fool’s Day thing there, it wouldn’t have been subtle :).
