Revisions and copy edits on SPIRIT DANCES are done. You guys will love the end of this one. Where “love” means “rise up and kill me”. :) This means I have two days scot free before NNWM starts, although realistically I’ll probably go ahead and get started on the next BYD&OT story (my, that needs to be pared down, doesn’t it? BYD or OT, do you think?) tomorrow. I actually managed a NNWMish wordcount today, but I will be astonished if that happens with any regularity over the next month.…

oh yeah
The Sekrit Project: I am entirely delighted to announce that I have sold a collection of Old Races stories to Subterranean Press. Tentatively entitled BABA YAGA’S DAUGHTER & OTHER TALES OF THE OLD RACES, it will include “From Russia, with Love”, “Five Card Draw”, “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” and three to five new stories centering around Janx, Daisani, Vanessa Grey and Baba Yaga’s daughter. And probably some other people. ;) Like all SubPress publications, it will be a limited run edition, probably of around 2000 copies, with…
nnwm complaint
So I’m doing Nanowrimo this year, because the Sekrit Project–which is not so Sekrit anymore, having been outed on FB, so I’ll tell you what it is in a minute here–because the Sekrit Project is due soon and I have this novella to write, and it happens that the approximate number of words that need writing is 50,000, so hey, NNWM it is. The astute among you will immediately notice that what I am proposing to do is not actually within NNWM guidelines. And I must say, having just been…
Sporadic Gaming Group
Ted and I would like to set up a Sporadic Gaming Group, which will be contingent on his work schedule, which changes sometimes as often as weekly. At best I would think it would be a group that met every 2 weeks, but it’s more likely, I think, that it would meet every 3. Or so. Furthermore, realistically, it would have to be an early-ish game on whatever days it ended up being scheduled (and that would change), because Young Indiana’s schedule demands early-ish wrap-up. So if you’re in Dublin…
pleased with self.
I have managed to write about 5,000 words this week, and have completed a short story, which means that approximately 2/3rds of The Sekrit Project is done. It also means that bit of work is taken care of so I can spend the next week doing revisions and copy edits on SPIRIT DANCES, which are due Thursday. And then it’s pretty much time for Nanowrimo, so that’ll be interesting. :)
