Horrid dreams...

I finally had my first publishing-related nightmare. I dreamed I'd shown up to a signing on my release date. The store was set up with a big table, and several boxes of my books. But when I opened the boxes, my book's gorgeous cover had been replaced with a weird, tangerine and white watercolor abstract. I thought maybe it wasn't my book at all, but the title was mine, and my name was on the book. I looked up and the bookseller was busy scribbling a sale price right across the front of each book with a permanent marker. "We're pretty sure these won't sell, so we have to do what we can to unload them," she said.

philipmcavery says this is probably the equivalent, for me, of the naked-in-public dreams other people have.
