Even while I’m waiting on all that other stuff, I’m managing to find a few ways to keep myself busy:
Putting together the Facebook page for The Day-Glo Brothers.
Planning the party celebrating the publication of The Day-Glo Brothers — Saturday, July 11, at 1 p.m. at BookPeople.
Getting the word out about my school visits, homeschooler workshops, etc.
Reading up on a couple of inventors for a nonfiction project.
Reading a few graphic novels (American Born Chinese, The Fate of the Artist, Blindspot, Dignifying Science) as research for another project.
If that graphic novel research ultimately involves writing one yourself, make sure you get your hands on a copy of Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. His most recent book Making Comics is geared more toward the artist than the writer, but is also a very good book.
