Cold calls and forgotten tasks

The cold calls to the bookstores turned out differently than I expected. I got no reaction to the words “television interview”, but the minute I said “consignment” a flood of information about qualifications and forms flowed out. So tomorrow I’m taking a trip up to Salt Lake to fill out forms and drop off books. Hopefully while I’m there I’ll also be able to set up some book signings for both Howard and I. That will be tomorrow’s adventure.

I figured out what I forgot to do yesterday. I didn’t prepare the number sheet so that Howard could cross of sketch editions as he draws them. Fortunately this did not impact today’s work since Howard really needed to rest his hand for awhile. I made up the number sheet and delivered it to Howard along with a stack of stamped and ready-to-be-drawn-in books.

I’m still very tired. The tired was not helped by Patch deciding to climb into bed with me around 2 am. He tossed and turned and kept waking me up. Fortunately I was able to catch a nap today.
