Stuffs

Sorry I'm late.  I had a spreadsheet to do and this one takes a lot of time.  Hunting down invoices so I can find part numbers.  Hunting down zip codes so I can assign it to the right person.  That sort of stuff.  I have a spreadsheet of invoices and another of zip codes, so it's not hard, but it's time consuming.  Yeah, yeah, there's probably an easier way involving macros, but I have a loathing of macros.  Nasty, nasty little macros hurt the precious.  :hiss:

Such is life.  It funds the writing, and that's all that matters.  Speaking of which, I'll be getting a bill from the cover artist soon.  She sent me the proof of Cinder Ugly's cover, which I need to approve sometime today.  It's hard saying if the cover is exactly right when I haven't even started writing the book yet.  I'll cross my fingers and send a wish out to the universe for it to be what I need by the time the book is done. 

In other news, I spent some time yesterday creating a hellbeast.  It popped up in the story, so I need to figure out what it looks like so I can accurately describe it.  Right now, I'm going with 'looks like a longhorn screwed a poodle.'  I'd post the image, but I cobbled it together from images I don't own, and I don't want to infringe on anyone's copyrights.  Picture a longhorn bull with the head of a standard poodle and the tail of a lizard.  I think I'll make it pink. Or maybe puce.  Mauve?  :shrug:  I guess we'll all find out at a later date.

And now it's time for me to call the office.  What's up in your world?

    What a cool hellbeast! I love the description; too bad you can't show us. And pink would defy all conventions! LOL!
