Down the rabbit hole, again
So much for a month of lying around not writing anything; I'm now
10,000 words in on the first draft of "The Jennifer Morgue" (which will
hopefully be published in December 2006 by Golden Gryphon), the sequel to
"The Atrocity Archives". Just as nothing diminishes one's
appetite for reading fiction as the job of writing it, so too it
should be noted that nothing diminishes one's ability to blog
quite as much as being elbow-deep in the guts of a novel.
I do not take much notice of the outside world when I'm doing
this stuff. And as I segued into "The Jennifer Morgue" right
after the penultimate draft of "Glasshouse" (which needs a final
run-through before I hand it in, but which is mostly
there) I haven't had much time to engage with the rest of the
universe. And this looks like it's going to be a year in which
the first six months are front-loaded with a metric ton of work.
But at least "The Jennifer Morgue" isn't meant to be heavy ...
