  • 01:51:36: Okay, it is now I Have Stopped Caring O’Clock. Good night, job! See you in the morning!
  • 02:57:11: @rdonoghue Awesome! And wow, what a name. Was it created by a Mistborn fan?
  • 03:09:14: Dear Crappy MySpace Bands, Stop stealing my %^#@$& artwork. No love ever, The &#$&(% Artist.
  • 03:09:25: RT @rdonoghue: One other practical thing from the art theft thread on rpg.net – http://www.tineye.com/ – reverse lookup for images
  • 03:11:06: Methinks tineye.com is going to be more of a source of frustration for me than a useful tool. Easier to pretend the theft isn’t happening.
  • 03:21:59: Yay! @ksmccarthy24 provides perfect antidote to Crappy Thieving MySpace Bands: http://blog.ponyaday.com/
  • 03:26:23: OMG! You know what else I needed? John Barrowman dancing to “Single Ladies.” http://bit.ly/48tsLZ
  • 08:48:45: Dreamed I had some kind of abdominal surgery. Don’t recall why. Woke up very gingerly.
  • 09:27:56: FRAK. Found another mistake on the map. “Aricholt” should be “Aldoholt.” Maybe if we do a poster, I’ll be able to fix it.
  • 09:45:04: @SheckyX Ha! I’d rather have my art ripped off my a million crappy MySpace bands than remove it from the web.
  • 11:33:45: omg, @subpress is publishing “an 80+ page off-kilter tale” by Pat Freaking Rothfuss! Yes, please! *makes grabbyhands at*
  • 12:12:10: Woah! I have the same birthday as Doctor Who! November 23rd is clearly the best day ever.
  • 12:28:00: @AnnLarimer Kennedy’s Assassination and C.S. Lewis’ death were both November 22nd, not the 23rd. My birthday remains unsullied!
  • 12:50:49: RT @flourish: Whenever someone tells me I’m a good cook I want to send them this: http://www.theawl.com/2009/11/stop-being-a-wuss-how-to …
  • 12:51:28: The official Twitter’s RT function doesn’t allow you to comment on the link? What’s the point of that?
  • 13:13:40: @Uilos The show in general!
  • 13:20:44: In Grand Central this morning, I was handed a mini bottle of Tabasco to advertise “Fringe.” Splainy?
  • 13:22:21: @Dark_Puck And I shall stick with my beloved TweetDeck!
  • 13:34:53: @scifantasy Nothing to “remember.” I only watched the first handful of episodes. :D
  • 13:35:38: RT @Islandwoo: FREE GODIVA CHOCOLATE at any NYC store 5-7pm TODAY. Locations: http://bit.ly/1duZtH (thx @pulsejfk)

  • 23:05:32: @theliz13 Try Wikipedia!
  • 23:06:28: @mightykatemusic You are Mighty Kate! Of course you are that daring! Do it for my birthday. :D
  • 23:21:50: Oh, wow! Check out gorgeous concept art for Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal. http://tinyurl.com/yzam2l2 (h/t @Esperacchius)
  • 23:44:18: One of the coolest things about the map is seeing how people who don’t know me react. A thing I created is reaching so many people…
  • 23:44:42: @ShannonKButcher We had a great time! Thanks for taking the time to chat with us.

The time is finally upon us! Check out the map I illustrated for Jim Butcher’s First Lord’s Fury, which hits stores November 24th. For those new to my mapsquee, FLF is the sixth book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series The Codex Alera. I’m so thrilled to be a part of it.

Download the map as desktop wallpaper in about every desktop size imaginable:

800×600
1024×768
1280×800
1280×1024
1400×900
1600×1200
1920×1200

I’m eager to hear your thoughts. :D
