Subscriber bonus mailing went in the post yesterday to everyone except international recipients (’cause my stamps don’t work internationally) and people who hadn’t given me their mailing addresses yet. I believe that it was roughly six weeks behind schedule. As someone who’s obsessively punctual, this has been keeping me awake at nights.
I’ve really got to start balancing the responsibilities I take on before my brain explodes.
Anyway, so what was in this particular care package, you might wonder? Nothing terribly exciting:
- A “NEW GAMES JOURNALIST” button (all the pretentious indie kids will be wearing one!);
- A couple of sprite magnets that need to be trimmed around the edges;
- and a mini-booklet featuring The Young Person’s Guide To Mario A-L and a short story.
Be warned; it’s been a long time since I’ve tried writing fiction, and despite constant revisions this effort is pretty lousy. I’ll do better next time. Honest! It’s gonna be great. Or great-ish, anyway.
It sounds great. I seriously can’t wait. Now I will be up nights waiting for this to arrive.
You should hire an assistant. I know money’s tight right now, but why not trick some poor college student into being a “games journalist intern” and working for free?
Awesome. Consider the frothing demand bird linked here.
You signing these things, Parish? Cause, I know a lad who would like a personal message.
