Films of High Adventure, and Stuff
Hellfire, about a month since the last post and still no pictures uploaded from the trip. Soon, I swear! In the interim, some items of note, and since I'm skint of time we're going to do it bandolier style:
- I turned in the copy edits for The Enterprise of Death, which puts me much at ease--it was tidier than I expected, and my copy editor did a bang-up job.
- Despite my lack of any real foreign language skills, the research trip was incredibly useful and fun--I found the sundry Peoples of the Continent to be as friendly and helpful as ever. Excluding the assholes, of course.
- Had an incredible time with friends new and old while traveling, and got to meet the incredible Orbit UK team, who showed me a damn fine time indeed.
- The Netherlands offered up a variety of genevers for my consumption, so expect a booze-oriented post at some point that will likely be dull as ditchwater to those not fond of genever/jenever/gin/etc.
- Trying to finish up the novels I started prior to embarking on this newest project, as I find myself unable to read much fiction while working on my own stuff (beta reading other WIPs excluded, of course, as that's more of an editorial exercise than a "pure" reading one).
- Satoshi Kon, one of my favorite working directors, died this week--kicked me harder than I would have expected.
- My friends seem to be doing damn well for themselves--anything new to report?
- This Wednesday marked the return of Films of High Adventure, following a brief hiatus--this week we took on Willow, and ran it over at Fantasy Magazine.
