When: May 24-27 (a hot time in the Arizona desert)
What again: SURF’S UP, CAP’N, Phoenix Comicon Exclusive Art Print, Signed and Numbered, Only (50) Available!
Famously, Stephen King used to say that he wrote every day except Christmas, the Fourth of July, and his birthday. Then, in his memoir On Writing, he called that a lie. It was a titillating tale for interviewers. It made good copy.
The truth, he explained, is that when he’s writing something, he writes every day. That means Christmas and Independence Day. Yes, he even writes on his birthday.
You probably knew all that because you’ve already read On Writing, right?
So what are you working on this weekend?
