Monsters in California: What Sounds Better?


It’s best not to dwell on pointless questions. Turn them over long enough in your mind and they become a poison, because one question can always lead to another.

I don't want to say which one I'm leaning towards, but I think they're both acceptable, so far as the English language is concerned. I feel like there's a right answer to this, but I'm not sure what it is.


Of course, a few hours from now I'll probably delete the whole paragraph and write something else entirely.

    Well technically, which sounds better.
    But I'd say number 2

    I read that first sentence, like, five times before I finally understood what you were talking about.

    And I think that little error sums up my grammar skills quite nicely.

    (#2. I agree)

      When do you think you'll finish it? I'm excited to read it

      TL;DR: Probably four months.

      I need two months for editing/rearranging/etc, at least a month for the art, maybe two (this is the part I'm really unsure of, time-wise); and then there's research, because while I know there's a market for this book, finding that market is going to take some effort.
      So if I don't hit my deadline, one of those things is at fault.


      Also, I'm having it edited by someone who would never make a blog post about grammar and put a grammar mistake in the title.
      I'll be having the book edited at the same time that I do the art, but if the editing takes longer than the art then the book releases later.


      Four months is a generous amount of time and things are moving along EXTREMELY well. I might get it done early.

      Ho-o-ly crap. I'm checking out some of the books here.

      Barbarian Beast Bitches of the Badlands
      I Knocked up Satan's Daughter
      A Town Called Suckhole

      I thought Monsters in California was a cool name, but now I'm intimidated.

      i'm looking at another one...
      Gargoyle Girls of Spider Island is about an island of amazons who, at night, turn into horrifying monsters that rape everything and everyone.

      ...

      I feel like my book belongs next to Harold and the Purple Crayon and The Cat in the Hat.

      I love "Adolf in Wonderland," "Satan Burger," and just about anything Carlton Mellick writes
