Hey, I should read back and see if I mentioned it already... it's been crazy lately! But anyway, I got my box of Robotics DeMystifed books the other day... I need to send samples to my family, etc.
So far, only one word on the cover is a lie! Better than usual.
Also, apparently Dean Kamen expressed an interest in it, and will be getting a comp copy from the publisher. That's scary. What if he hates it? It's not like I actually talk about robots in it (I talk about electronics, mechanics, and control... the pieces that make up robots).
I've started outlining the complete plot for the UnDead story. I'll start the re-write after Halloween, and the outline will help me stay focused.
I need to work on developing and writing characters. Time to dredge up my people skills and see if they apply in reverse.
And I need to get a tour of a morgue, firestation, and funeral home. Research. Details. I should visit New Orleans for the vodou research!
