Hey out there! If you get here using a search engine, I've moved. Just type "Gripology.net" in your address bar and you'll get to the new site. I'll be taking this one down soon.

Cheers!

Working on a new blog site

I'm busy transferring the contents of this blog over to a new site. Hopefully the new location will make it easier to get the word out, though its been a bit of a learning curve so far! For everyone out there, the transition will be painless, since the domain name will be the same.

Cheers!

Like the wise mister Petty said "the waiting is the hardest part."

(Tho for a while, I thought he had been saying "The wading was the hardest part." Not quite as profound.)

Focal agreed to send my proposal on to review! Its just another two to three week wait! Sigh. At least I can relax for the next two to three weeks.

Has anyone heard the term "Treadmill" in relation to a greenscreen drop cloth?

In contact with a chap at Focal Press and I hope to hear from him by the end of the week. I've been obsessively checking my email for days. I'm also moving to new digs this weekend, so I'll be off line for a few days as I get set up in the new house.

I'm still collecting phrases to include, so if you have any, send them to gripologybook@yahoo.com.

Cheers!

Oh its looking good. backstage images are on there way this week and I've begun talking to fine folks at Mole-Richardson about using their catalog. As soon as i can get a PDF copy created without my word crashing, I hope to have a beta copy for those of you who've been with me from the beginning. It's a long process, but it will be worth it!

Cheerios!

Argh! Happy Holidays!

Starting to lay images into a version of Gripology that I like to call "Gripology Jr.", something I hope to be able to get out while I'm waiting for Focal Press to get back to me one way or another. I'm expecting it to take at least another month before I start getting nervous! Two months is not unusual for publishers, and as its the holiday season, it may take even longer.

Cheers!
