A word from our sponsors
In between listening to BBC Radio 6 (who can't seem to get away
from the giant hole Peelie's left in British music broadcasting)
it's been a moderately good day for me. In between dinking with
my new PDA (I chickened and went for a Palm Tungsten T5,
when I figured out what all the software purchases would cost me
on top of the machine if I switched to an Ipaq) I just signed
contracts for a novella and something else I can't talk about yet
... when what did I learn? It turns out that
Rogue Farm, the animated
short film based on my story (of the same name) has been
nominated
for a BAFTA Scotland award in the Best Animation
category.
Wow.
It's that time of year when the nights are drawing in -- it's
now getting dark by about 5:30pm and not getting light until well
after 8am. In winter my circadian rhythm takes a big hit; I start
sleeping two extra hours a day and getting sleepy. I tend to
retreat from the world, ignore the housekeeping, and eat too
much: all symptoms of a mild seasonal depression. But I also tend
to get creative urges and start work on writing projects
at this time of year. Don't ask why: probably it's a
sublimation of some ancient hibernation reflex. I'm slowly
getting back to normal after all the travel. And if there's
anything to get my enthusiasm up it's news like this.
Back to GLASSHOUSE, I think ...
