It's the brainchild of the WGA strikers -- Hollywood writers trying to get a fair deal. They've put their pencils down in order to strike; as a little reminder, they're sending the Six Most Powerful Media Moguls boxes of pencils. Truckloads, in fact.
You can support a fair deal for the writers by contributing a few pencils of your own. Just go to the United Hollywood site.
Speaking of pencils, here's an interesting article by artist Matthew James Taylor on how to properly sharpen them.
In all honesty, I don't write with a pencil anymore. In my old age, I've grown accustomed to typing faster than I can think. However, I still write my first pages of the day by hand, using a disposable fountain pen. How else can I guzzle down my morning coffee at the same time?

Do you know someone took your Order of the Dragon pictures and made a medallion out of it, and sold them for $100?

Keven,
Thanks for the heads up. Of course, I don't own rights to the Order of the Dragon symbol, as it's public domain -- BUT if the person copied the symbol as rendered (so beautifully) on COVENANT WITH THE VAMPIRE, then they're not in trouble with me, but rather with Dell Publishing, who owns rights to that artwork.
