1:05a - On Pets...
I don't like owning pets.
I love pets.. I love cats.. chins.. cute fuzzies. I really just love em' and would have a ton, but I don't know if I ever will or could.
I can't deal with them dying.
This is probably deep in my psyche, as I have an utter fear and hatred of the concept of death. The idea that I would have given this animal all the love in the world, but upon agreeing to be their caretaker, I would be agreeing to live with them their entire life hurts. Primarily because I know that if I had a cat from a kitten or a chin from a kit that in 15 years or so, I'll have to be ready to say good-bye to them... let alone if they pass earlier.
It hurts more than when someone I know dies. I know there are exceptions to that, like close family or friends... but if my cat died, a cat that I had known since it's infancy - I would feel so much more hurt and upset than if a person I occasionally saw died.
I know I have a lot of pet owners in my list... how do you deal with that pain? How do you sit there and tolerate that ache?
I just don't know how... and don't know if I could ever learn to do so.

10:07a - On Print Runs and Prices and Shit...
Jeffrey just put something into perspective for me.
I bought a print run of my books (Small print runs) of my books in February/March and I'm sold out.
This is the best convention season I've ever had. I'm sold out of my run.. something I hadn't expected. 5 months is a quick turn around, but now I have a problem...
I have TWO shows left on the season roster and I don't have the stock to support the shows, nor do I have the money to get another small print run together. Even if I did, there is NO way that Ka-Blam would have the books to me in time for the 2nd show in two weeks.
I'm not sure what to do about this... I don't want to NOT have supplies for a show, but I can't justify a RUSH ORDER on these books as it would cut into my abysmally small profits.
What to do .. what to do...
