I love my job: part the millioneth
There are many reasons I love my job: I don’t have to wake up at any particular hour, I get to work in my pjs, I get to travel and meet lots of fabulous people, and I get paid to make shit up. But all of that pales in comparison with the joy of having fans and their wonderful responses to my work. Tis really the best thing about being a writer.
Breca Halley has created a movie poster for Magic or Madness. Isn’t that fabulous? I particularly like the idea of Rupert Grint as Tom. And at one point Keisha Castle-Hughes’ name came up as someone who could play Reason. (That option never happened, alas. Hollywood! They just toy with you.)

And Kate Egan has created some more Magic or Madness art. I’m putting it behind the cut on account of it is a tiny bit spoilerish for Magic Lessons

How fabulous is that? There’s Tom with pins in his mouth making clothes. And there’s Raul Cansino as the gingerbread man! This picture made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Thank you, Kate. Your work just gets better and better.

Rebecca Says:
wells, i actually had keisha cast as jay-tee, before i found out she was from new zealand. so keisha is jay-tee and reason is demetra raven. i think keisha’s expression here is very jay-tee-ish.
