I dunno. I seem to have got out of the habit of posting here and I feel bad abut that. Basically it's because of putting up "Comfy Chair" posts on otherblog - there's a new one today for
bg_thomas's latest release in the Men of Steel anthology from Dreamspinner - which take quite a lot of time and concentration. I have 2 more this week tho'! Come and see
charliecochrane on Thursday and I'll be posting for Sue Roebuck's latest on Saturday, with another more personal post when she gets back from her travels. Honestly being whisked away to Madeira sounds brilliant but not perhaps if it means being incommunicado on "new release day"!
What else have I been doing! Hmmmmm - oh, pictures. If you ever wondered what Cynfal and Gwion looked like wonder no more. They are featured on Sue Roebucks post about I for Illustration, along with a few of the other people who hang out in my brain. Also I've been trying to write something for the Lashing of Sauce anthology - I've had 4 false starts so far and am hoping that something might occur to me once Himself is back in school. All my writing routines have goen to cock *sigh* and I'm a little concerned that this is how it will be from July onwards once he has hung up his mortarboard and cane for the last time.
Still - we'll see. I've got far too many characters milling around in my head desperate to be heroic [not to mention the occasional one who would quite like to get laid, please, if it can be arranged] to meekly give up on the story telling and spend my mornings and evenings watching tv!
I've been reading too - so many terrific gay lit and M/M novels but also OMG! China Mieville!!! I'm reading The Scar and it is FANTASTIC! He had me on page one when he used the word 'obtained' in a perfectly correct way that I haven't seen in anything printed since the 1950s and made it exciting!
