Brief interlude
Been suffering from the SAD a bit lately, as well as grappling with a novella
that doesn't want to go anywhere. I'm going to be a bit quiet for the rest of
this week, too -- I've got an article to finish for Whole Earth Review,
a critical essay to write, a novel to edit, and I'm off to Leeds to
visit my relatives before the railways get completely jammed with festive
season travellers next week. Events this month have generally left me weeks
behind schedule on my work, and the blog suffers while I'm playing
catch-up.
I've also been grappling with a second-hand Psion Netbook -- which is my idea
of what a PDA ought to be; just a shame it's an orphan machine. (The
Alphasmart Dana won't be shipping in the UK until March, and this Netbook
turned up at the right price -- not the £800 Psion want for a new one --
and what was I to do?) Sooner or later I'll have to write up my notes about
it, but not until I get home and have some spare time.
(Finally, some good news: the contract for "The Atrocity Archive" has
successfully battled its way through the pre-Christmas postal traffic jam
and arrived on my doorstep today. So I can breathe a sigh of relief --
and now try to figure out when I'll have time to write the sequel.)
