I still *heart* you, Joss.

Shadows

Ok, I'm crying right now. Not because I'm unhappy.

Laura, dear, sweet, talented, Laura from the EA group has agreed to do the cover art for "In Shadowside". This means more to me than I can probably put into words. Laura was one of the first people to read my book. She was one of the first people to not only tell, but show me how much she liked it. She was the first person to ever do any sort of manipulated art for "In Shadowside". When Jenn suggested she do the art for the book, I jumped on it. I wanted it badly.

So I got the email today saying that my novel cover art will be completed by early next month which means the book will likely go into layout and print by December or early 2006, so it seems 2006 might be the year of the Shadow for me.

Funny that around this time six years ago was when I started writing fanfic... as an attempt to hone my skills as a writer. If you want to be a writer, I so recommend starting in fic. I would not have the skill I have now without it. Fanfic taught me a lot, and I just would like to say now that I will never be one of those authors that gets fussy about it. If I even start "Rice-ing", certain people in my life already have my permission to totally call me on it.

*still crying*

Kinda scary when you find out the thing you've been dreaming about for YEARS is really on the cusp of actually being.
