I’m off on vacation today. Headed to a rental house over by Acadia, and looking forward to relax and try to recharge. And as I drive off, I’m very pleased to be able to announce that step 3 of my plan for global domination is finally complete, just as I planned.
PLAN FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION
- Publish MEMORY THIEF in America
- Publish MEMORY THIEF in China
- Publish MEMORY THIEF in Turkey.
- [. . .]
- Take over the world
As with many of the best news I get to announce on my blog, I’ve known about this for months, and I’ve had to keep quiet about it. That leads to some strange celebrations. I’m the most excited when I can’t tell anyone, and then when everyone else is the most excited, it’s already old news to me.
But either which way, it’s great news. Three languages! I think these foreign sales are some of the best surprises I ever get. I love having my agents email me to see if I’d like to accept an offer I knew absolutely nothing about. It’s like if someone comes up to you to say you’ve inherited a bunch of money and asks if you’d like to accept it. You don’t have to do anything to get that money except sign on a dotted line. All the work is done already.
I don’t think I would ever get tired of that.
In any case, have a great weekend, everybody. I’ll catch you on Tuesday, when I’m back from vacation!
