I have to finish the QUEEN’S BASTARD revisions in the next four days. I got about…5 chapters done, I think, while Emily was here, and that’s about a quarter of the book (technically it’s more than a quarter, as it’s only 18 chapters, but some of those chapters are much longer than others, so there’s more weight later on), and that’s fairly awesome. It leaves me a mere 3 chapters a day to deal with. The cringing part is that that’s a hundred pages a day, which is a lot,…
whew!
, Ted and I watched Human Nature/Family of Blood yesterday. *clutches heart and staggers around* That’s not just doom. That’s chocolately doom: the kind of doom you just can’t resist. Wow. God damn, but is good. I will be falling upon him and weeping and strangling him a little bit and going AUGH a lot at MeCon, I think. :) It has been a completely smashing week. took us down to Kinsale on Saturday and gave us the history of Ireland as relevant to Kinsale, and brought us to Charlesfort…
mostly doctor
Anyone who had the opportunity to enjoy the smashingly nice, rain-free afternoon and evening yesterday in Cork should thank and me for it. We’d intended on going to Blarney, but the intermittent torrential downpours all morning and into the early afternoon put us off, so we decided in favor of tucking ourselves in and watching as much Torchwood and Doctor Who as we could. Consequently, Ted and I have now seen episodes 1, 12 and 13 of Torchwood, and the final 3 episodes of Doctor Who, which were all full…
bookbookbook
Over the last couple of months I have gotten *lots* of emails saying, “I’ve visited your website and don’t see anything saying there will be more Walker Papers! Don’t tell me the series is ending! Augh!” I could’ve sworn I had something about it posted on cemurphy.net, but let me just make it clear: Don’t worry. The series isn’t ending. :) The next Walker Papers book (tentatively titled CAULDRON BORNE) will be out sometime in 2009, and I’m contracted for two more books after that. However, between now and then,…
busy visity day!
Alarmingly, Ardian has caught up to me. I need to write the fifth issue of Chance. Ack. I also .really. need to get that resubmitted. Months have passed me by unwary. Meh. A man came to fix the washer, and sort of did. Another man came to deliver groceries, which was pretty cool. I’m going to have to call about the washer again, I guess. Bother. But other than that, it was a very nice day. Emily and I went out to Fota and saw baby monkeys, and to Cobh…
