Later today, hopefully, I’ll be resubmitting my Galley Proof (version 2) of “Bats, Balls, & Burnouts” to Outskirts Press and all of the “wordy” stuff will be done. No more writing, no more editing, no more proofreading. The page count will be finalized, the cover will be completed, and off we’ll go. When will I have the first printed copy in my hands? I’m not totally sure yet, but it’s a matter of weeks, not months. And once that happens, it will be available for everybody to either purchase or download. And I’ll start going to some races to help promote it. That’s how close we are. I’ll try to remember to keep you posted once things like availability and on-sale dates are set in stone, because you know, I might just forget about little details like that. Not.

Happy Blog Day, everyone. It’s great to be back in (insert city) with you, and thanks for coming out. T-shirts are on sale in the lobby, and remember to tip your bartenders and waitresses. We’re going to finish up with one last hit, called “Human Pinball.” It goes a little something like this… (raucous applause and a standing ovation).

Hello blog faithful! My No. 1 priority this week was to make sure I got this installment written and posted on time, as in “on the right day” after my mishap last week. So, consider this a success. My No. 2 priority was to have all sorts of incredible news to share with all of you. Consider that a failure. Basically, the status remains quo.

So, I kinda sorta missed Thursday Blog Day yesterday. Not totally, because I did have time to post a short blurb and cut & paste my most recent Kickstarter update, but it really wasn’t a blog. It was more of a placeholder for this one, which I’m writing on Friday morning.
