I recently put out the second edition of Elephant's Breath and London Smoke. I figure if Tolkien can do it, so can we. ;-)<br /><br />Hmm. Signatures. I guess I'll just sign my fiction with D.J. No one (except friends) has asked me to autograph my nonfiction.

The edits have been ready since like December, but my head's been too cluttered with this book. And I did resist. When I finished that last edit pass over the weekend, I promised myself NO MORE. <br /><br />Yeah, I'll be going with B.E. Sanderson for the author signature, I just want to make the Sanderson part legible. LOL Oh man, I didn't even think about doing that to make it so it's not my legal signature, but that's so whacked out, I don't think I'd use it anyway.<br />B.E.

It comes in so many flavors. Congrats again on the milestone. I can't wait to read my final copy of it.

It certainly takes your mind off the old one. <br /><br />But it's funny, too, because my editor knows I'm the same way. When we were almost through with the edits, she'd send it to me and tell me not to fiddle with it anymore, just fix the mistakes (or look for typos). It's easier to fiddle with it when you're self-publishing, though. You don't have a publisher's deadline breathing down your neck. But resist. The book will NEVER be done in your eyes, so just let it go.<br /><br />As for your signature... I pretty much sign my books with just my first name. Unfortunately, that doesn't work when someone wants me to sign their book bag (that happens at conventions). I'm still working on signing my last name so that it doesn't look like my official signature. Not so easy! Now, if I had gone with my maiden name, I wouldn't have a problem at all. Funny how that is, huh?Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.com
