What was the other book project?

I like writing comedy pieces and essays for the blogs, but it gets discouraging because someone always tells me I need to get back to work.

Rule #1: Make yourself happy- at least that way, you know somebody's gonna be happy!

Personally, I enjoy your writing no matter what form it takes!

Wasn't it supposed to be made of the contributions to the contest about something and chocolate? I remember writing a sonnet for it, but don't know whether the e-book had been made for the Fruitbat Boardello.

Yeah, "Christmas and Explosions" or something. Or possibly chocolate.

I write for the Blog for fun, mainly. I'm also answering a lot of e-mails every day. I don't know, really, where work ends and fun writing begins, which I suppose is a good thing. I like writing comedy pieces and essays for the blogs, but it gets discouraging because someone always tells me I need to get back to work.

*sigh* I hate that someone has to say stuff like that to you - nothing like the constant pressure to work. Anyway they should be happy that you're blogging too. Gives them a little bit of the AG between books.

I found the original thread; it's called Hell and Hot Chocolate.

I believe that with a digital book we can put external links to the paintings, if they exist, so we wouldn't run into copyright issues. The Boardello has enough expertise to assemble the book in an attractive form - Cover art, etc. Whatever happened to that other book project from a year ago?

Ahh, yes. It's on the TBDASAIC list. Of course if anyone has a little extra time to help it would be appreciated. As it turns out, I'm not the little red hen.

Why should we bother with immortality when we are eternal?

Getting back to the notion of a printed and/or e-book version of Chris' blogs for charity (with or without photos), how about this little idea:

Include in the book (with permission) some artwork or other incidental contributions by the Boardellans (or other things that have been pointed out, like the online drawings/cartoons based on ADJ and TSA)?

yes, yes it would. His publisher and agent may have some contractually defined say in the matter. Though, if it were a shop fruitbat publication and all profits go to charity, there may be fewer obstacles.
