Update #18: The books are here!
Posted on November 18, 2009
This is a VERY brief note; I'm sending it because it's such a funny 21st-century moment.
Usually, these updates have been a matter of me taking my experiences working on the book and making them virtual, right? Finding a way to share them with you through the screen. Recording videos, snapping photos, explaining things.
But here's a case in which you can experience a moment in exactly the same way that I am. No translation needed. I was just sitting here at "The Medalist" bar and grill at JFK (P.S. not recommended), idly scrolling through Twitter, and what do I see but this tweet:
The link leads to a photo here. Look at those boxes!
So, there you go. You've seen exactly as much as I have, through exactly the same window that I have. That's kinda cool. I'll be back in San Francisco next Tuesday, and I'll go pick the books up and start getting them ready to ship.
Well—I guess it's not true that you've seen exactly as much as I have. After all: I know what the cover looks like ;-)

Born in Illinois. Grew up in Michigan. Learned to write in Florida. Now I live in San Francisco.

Oh man! It's like waiting for Christmas!!!!

Please send them soon. Please send them soon...
Oh, I posted the very exciting photo of your boxes on my blogs as an inspiration. Hope that's okay!
Oh man, I feel like a little kid who knows where mom hid the xmas presents. I might still have the skills to wander down the hall and open one of those badboys up and tape it back nice and neat so nobody's the wiser. I would never. Or would I?
But Robin, who's this Melody now ;)?
