Its that time of the month where I come and spice up your life with a brief injection of ‘What the Frack have I been doing all this time’. I know you love it. That’s why I have such a rabid army of followers hanging off my every word. Get down, you drooling fanatics! Honestly, you make me blush…
In the world of Limbus, I managed to print up another 3 proofs of ‘The Ring that Echoes’ that seem to have only one glaring error regarding repetition of description. I’m not brave enough to chase an agent just yet…I want to hand these ones out to discerning types who will either hate it or be totally indifferent. I’ll brace myself for anything. I have a tin hat that I’ve built out of a colander and it looks rather fetching. Plus, I have two small fingers that I can stick in my ears for vast swathes of time. They’re not my fingers, of course. No, they belong to a critic. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
He’s dead now. How did he die? Badly. I wasn’t very impressed with the wailing. It was pretty derivative.
No, honestly…it’ll be fine.
Meanwhile, ‘The Sceptre that Trembles’ is really flowing quite well. It feels like it’s going to turn into a proper spy hunt type of thing. Like Book 1 is the ‘here’s all the stuff and how it goes with a couple of bits of excitement and twists’ and Book 2 is going to be ‘right…back here again and oh my word we’re off on a thrilling adventure to far flung unexplored places…plus more twists’. I mean, with that calibre of description its going to fly, isn’t it?
So, I have five weeks from today before I finally can put pen to Moleskine. There’s a lot to cover before then but I have the requisite amount of chapters laid out and some brief idea of what goes in them. Characters and places need to be made flesh and all that…but I’m on the way. I feel slightly daunted and excited at the same time.
In other news, I’ve had a serious bout of man-flu. Not your garden variety…no this is REAL man-flu. The type that only REAL men get. It was annoying for a few days as I couldn’t think at all and was left just lolling around in bed feeling sorry for myself. Now the snotty cold has taken over which leaves me feeling rubbish but at least my brain seems to be reasonably active again.
I’ve developed a curious interest in D&D again. The boy asked about it and I realised I couldn’t remember how to play it. I watched a couple of Youtube videos and now I’m hooked on watching various people doing two hour long videos of adventuring. Honestly, its brilliant. There should be a full on Celebrity TV version. The Great British Role Off or something.
Although I have to watch it by myself. So maybe its not that brilliant.
I’m thinking I should be doing a video diary thing for NaNoWriMo. Might be a bit more personal, I guess. It could be a really bad idea if it all goes south but hey ho…might be worth trying to have only one glaring error regarding repetition of description.
Let me know what you think, you barmy fans! Hit me up y’all! Laters.
(Sorry – I watched Booksmart. It’s brilliant)
