i am finished!
profound words about the experience will have to wait until tomorrow.
(if ever? ha! i'm not very profound!)
i. am. just. too. tired!
however, i did accomplish what i set out to do and am pleased. it was hard, but fun and i really really enjoyed the group and the new works i have seen here.
it came out pretty juicy and garish. the last pages were surprisingly dark and *not* symmetrical. boing! the cover was fun and every time i look at the back i giggle. i *hope* it is gotten by those who have seen the pages, but ... if not, it is my own silly secret. this is hard to write because i have to keep jumping up and down to dole out the sweets. i can't believe i'm eating them, too, after all that time in the dentist chair today.
the end.

Also, not to give away trade secrets or anything, but do you always get that soft focus? Is it the camera?

i like most of them! i'm not sure which soft focus you mean? of the images in the book? they are made with the pencam, which is low-resolution, rather poor quality. sometimes i mess with them in photoshop, as i do most images. i don't usually like them straight out of the camera. i use different filters and stuff, but nothing specific. i guess, like in the one of the pencam, in the background layer, with the trees, i put a big light flash! i wanted the pencam to glow magically! ha ha. thank you!!
I love this year's main character, title character, Snowflake Obsidian. He's a 40 year old horse of a smart longlived breed who got enchanted up a bit from that and has just become a wizard in his own right by virtue of casting a spell without any human assistance (like the spell to speak human languages). Masterwork for any wizard is spellcasting without tools or spoken words, so he needed to reach Master to cast spells at all. Now he's on quest carrying the Hero of the Age and is about to become the Wizard of the Age in his own right.
