Just a quick note: I'm blogging again.
As the blog's title suggests, it's not going to be as open, subject-matter-wise, as the last one. It's basically there to promote my book once it's published, and give me a space to think about the book, or post excerpts for comment, until that fateful day. It probably won't be updated daily, or anything like it. But please feel free to stop on by.
Posted by phil on May 10, 2004 2:16 PMGood news, Phil. Looking forward to reading your ‘behind the scenes’ musings. Any further word yet on the book cover? (fingers still crossed for that garish riff on ON THE CORNER you described awhile back)
Posted by: derek at May 11, 2004 8:59 AMI've talked to the illustrator, and he's all for it, but I have to wait until my agent convinces the publisher to pay for it. My main negotiating point is that I took a smaller advance than I wanted to write the thing, so I feel they should cough up for the cover. (It's not that expensive; the guy only wants about $1500.)
