The signing was at Alamo Draft House (which is an awesome movie theater) where they were also doing a screening of The Last Unicorn. We met up with my dear friend Liz and her husband and had a grand old time. :)
There was a Q&A after the movie, and of course somebody asked him for writing/publishing advice (because somebody always does at author events it seems), and I loved his advice: "Show up to work on time, every day." If you want to take writing seriously, he said, it needs to be treated like a job. Really helps you to gain prospective.
And by now you're all probably wondering what it is that I am giving away. Well, since you must know, it is a SIGNED COPY of The Last Unicorn!

Oh, THE LAST UNICORN...I remember the movie as a child, but (sadly) I didn't realize that there was a book behind it! (What can I say, I was really little and crying over the loss of the unicorn...loved unicorns....) I wonder what my brain these many years later would think of the novel...hmm....count me in!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for making following NOT a requirement....I do the same thing on my contests. I'd rather gain followers from those that WANT to read the site versus those just wanting in on the contest. (Although...I did follow just now so I can check out the rest of your site!)

One of my favorite movies as a child, and one that holds up well as an adult. Loving the new comic version of it as well. Would love to read the original print version of it. Very generous of you.
