Collaborative Journal Update

A quick journal project update:

The post office is not my friend. I got several books back, and they are damaged!

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!

The journal block in #29 has completely broken free from the cover. I’m going to see if I can fix it this weekend. #25 has gotten wet or something and the cover is loose. I’m working on that one as well. # 13 and 12 are here and safe, but had to be sent back to me partially done…I’ll be sending those back to the artists when they are better able to work in them. #41 is a brand new book and it’s ready to go out the door as well. Soooo…if you’re waiting on books, the delay is mostly about books arriving back to me damaged. I have been trying to figure out how to fix them and whether they can be fixed. (I had to get some professional advice on #29.)

I also have several lost books…actually, at this point…over half of the books are missing in action. I’ve been trying not to panic, but I can’t help myself. Here’s a list of the missing books…if you have sent a book that I have received, please send me an email as soon as possible. If you have a book and just haven’t finished with it, just send it along undone. If you have a book and can’t afford to send it back to me, send it postage due. Send all books to me at this address:

Serendipity

PO Box 3246

Redondo Beach, CA 90277

I joined a chunky book swap, sent in eighty-four original pieces, and never got a thing back...not even an answer to my emails (which I kept as polite as possible).

So I completely hear you about the trying-not-to-panic thing.

After a while I had to console myself with knowing that at least my art is out there. Somewhere. Hopefully to be enjoyed by someone. Perhaps it will be the same with your books.

84 pieces of work. Holy cow! I would be over the top angry. Heck, I'm over the top angry about the books. All I ask is for people to keep their word, ya know.

Oh well.
