Perhaps no piece has summed up for me my feelings about the Republican Rebuttal like this one. The resemblance is uncanny.
And because I haven’t given a Buttersby update in like forever, I had an epiphany yesterday out of the blue for the sequel (if I ever write one). Let’s just say take Buttersby and add a good dose of Temple of Doom, with extra mysticism. And maybe Nazis, because they make any plot better, right? Not human Nazis, though. No–we’re talking vampire bat Nazis. Who worship the Chupacabra. Oh yeah. 🙂
I thought you’d already written three Buttersby books.
I have. But then I revised the first one heavily before it got published–and I didn’t revise the others. The changes made to the first make it so that the second and third can’t come next in the sequence. They might be more like books three and four. Or four and five. You get the picture. The immediate sequel would be City of Lost Alpacas. If I ever write it.
Ah. Okay. How many of those did your mom sell, anyway?
Not as many as we’d like. 🙂 I think if we ended up going with a sequel, we’d plan out the schedule ahead of time and pay close attention to the roll out.
Ah. That makes sense.
