*Note: No, it's not really a world tour; it's just a lame joke that's been amusing us since 1998. It's perfectly fine if it doesn't amuse you, but please don't feel compelled to tell me about how you're not amused, OK? It's our not-really-a-world-tour and we can, and will, call it anything we like. Thank you for your understanding.

And why do people think they have the right to correct any thing you say? That's got to be annoying. Besides, if they have read any of your books they know your characters often speak with their tongues firmly embedded in their cheeks, so why wouldn't you?

In general, because there lots of people in the conversation, you have to expect at least one person will be offended by something I/we say and feel compelled to issue a correction.
In the particular "but it's not really a WORLD tour" complaint -- that began because someone got excited because they thought a "world tour" would mean we'd be coming to New Zealand. So...OK. Not very realistic from my point of view, but I could see that someone who was overzealous, or perhaps just not very informed about how publishers spend money/good money/serious money could, maybe, convince themselves.
What corked me off was that, after we explained the joke, the return volley was an attempt to correct my sense of humor.
So -- pre-emptive footnotes R us.

Date: 2013-09-25 09:34 pm (UTC)Really hoping I can time my next US trip to match because there are two bookshops there that I've used relatively often (although based in the UK I'm in greater Boston about once every six weeks
