So, I got an etsy account.
I'm not selling anything at this point, though jewellery, self-published chap books and potentially CDs are all possible.
Anyway. There's that done.
And, handily, I've managed to come up with one or two more Selkie poems that, with some polishing, will start filling in the holes in the manuscript.
That's a thing in itself. To micro-press publish or to self-publish?
Because part of me is going: Self-publish! How much is it going to cost to spiral-bind something that you printed on glossy paper with some black-and-white photos/collages/art-of-some-kind, and then convince a couple of local cafes to carry it?
But, another part of me is going: Local Micro-Press! How hard is it going to be to send out 50 or 60 query letters and wait for someone to go "This Is Awesome" (as opposed to the other 49-59 who will, most likely, go "You Suck!" -- or, at the very least "You don't suck, but this is totally not what we're looking for").
Hm.
I will need to check the Vagina Dentata publication rules about re-publishing stuff that they've already published.
Hrm...
Anyway.
Need to make mocha cupcakes for tonight -- I've got chocolate rice milk (which, in its unsweetened, non-chocolate form is already Insanely Sweet) to use for the liquid, so I think I will cut the sugar by about a third and/or add extra cocoa and coffee.
At least this is my Glorious Plan.
Also waiting for Jessica Ruano, as I need to give her the money she got from the show on Tuesday. She's due in... a little over an hour.
And tonight is Phamily Dinner. Which will, I fear, be rather underpopulated what with bluesfest and various people being out of town.
Still - as mentioned - there will be mocha cupcakes (and strawberries, and hummus and spinach dip, and bread there-in to dip).
So it should be a tasty, picnic-ish meal, if a small one. ;-)
<*sigh*>
Tired. Probably need to eat something. :-P
In other news: Ran into my grade eleven English teacher, Jalna Hunt. Sweet! :-D She's totally awesome! :-D
I still haven't asked her if she's pagan. May never get around to it. But I've always wondered. (Who the hell else takes time out of English on Hallowe'en to talk about the Day of the Dead? And then wonders, aloud, months later about the exact date of the Spring equinox?)
Anyway.
She's wicked-cool, and it was really nice to run into her. :-)
She's moving house at the moment, from Bay street down to Fan... something or other (fanshaw? fandale?) a little ways further west on Gladstone, I think.
Anway. That was cool. :-)
And the bank card thing got sorted out.
And I have hairspray (of all things) and razor-blades, but now I can't find my damn razor. (My under-arms are seriously becoming a jungle, and it's getting on my nerves).
Anyway. Oh, damn, that's what I forgot. Cupcake-liners.
<*shrug*>
Oh well. Bareback cupcakes it is. (Here's hoping I can get them to come out of the tins without ripping).
[EDIT: Cupcakes: Made. They are cooling in their pan and, hopefully, this will keep them from falling apart when I take them out for icing. Icing, by the way, is a rich, chocolatey goo that actually contains melted chocolate. And cocoa. And chocolate rice-milk. I think I've managed to keep it from being too sweet.
