Every time I look at my to-do list there's a capslock reminder at the bottom of it: DEAD ISLE TOMORROW. And whenever I see that I break out into a cold sweat.

It's ridiculous; I know plenty of people like the book, so I'm not worried people will hate it. I know the book is solid, I've been through it looking for random blank pages or errors in the cover copy. And I know that while yes, it is going to sell for more than most of my others, I'm making about the same profit, so I'm not ripping anyone off. I have done this three times before, I am prepared!

IF SOMETHING DOES GO HORRIBLY, TERRIBLY WRONG I WILL BE READY. Or at least I will be mentally braced and not have a breakdown. I'm pre-having my breakdown!

This is not that unusual.

Anyway, yes. Tomorrow! I will have done ANOTHER BOOK. Full of words I assembled!

I should get back to that, the whole assembling-words thing.

I could do that. Should I bring biscuits? Ginger & Cinnamon ones are what I'm good at.

From what I have read from the blog over the years, he'd probably have hysterics from having to go to a party thrown for him. :D We could have wildebeest and mac and cheese and sushi.
It is an awesome book and can't wait for my signed copy!

LOL, that's not far off. A party IN HONOUR of me would freak me right out :D

I suspect that would give me hysterics about the party. Which admittedly is at least a good distraction...

My broke-and-recently-unemployed cousin couldn't afford coffee, so I sent him some. When he swore he'd pay me back some day I told him to buy your book instead. So some day my cousin might be able to afford to buy your book and is honor bound to do so.

LOL! Now that's a deal :D

I, of course, am going to buy one, too, but I have to wait because I spent the $14 on coffee for my cousin. You understand how it is.

So sad that I have no money! BUT on Friday I will get my first paycheck in three months. Most of it goes on debt and bills, but I'm saving out forty for Dead Isle and Sarah Rees Brennan's new book. I HAVE PRIORITIES.

Awww, I am complimented! But make sure you have enough that nobody's electricity is getting turned off or anything. The book will be here regardless. :D

I have a reminder on my phone for five minutes before the post is due to go up. And I think I have my timezones right now, so I shouldn't be late this time!

...having said that, I then went and changed my alarm three times because I thought I had gotten it wrong, and eventually went back to the first time I had an alarm set for. WISH ME LUCK.

GOOD LUCK!

If it helps any, it's three hours and ten minutes from the time I post this comment :D

That...doesn't help. But my alarm is set for two hours and five minutes from when I post this comment! So I can calibrate based on this comment's timestamp.

Yes! Your alarm is correct :D

Ooooh, that's a good idea! (Says she who forgot about timezones and is now an hour early, DUH.)

I have recently switched timezones myself, and until a few days ago was convinced that Chicago was in Eastern Time -2. So I had several moments of, "But it should be this many hours away...but...wait, that's from my old timezone...but..."

You know what this means, don't you?

FIRST COMMENT DEATHMATCH!!!! :D

Dude, I am just coming back from an epic road trip all over America where I could never quite keep up with the changing timezones. I FEEL YOUR PAIN :D

FIRST COMMENT DEATHMATCH!!!! YOU'RE ON!
Though you totally win because my phone just died on me WHAT.
