Pottering away in the background. Yeah, I know that’s all I ever do.

Have you noticed how most people around you go through life like swans (ducks / geese / insert swimming bird of choice). Everyone else seems to look calm enough and is if they’re barely doing any work but, underneath, they’re also paddling along like fury to stay afloat. Or maybe icebergs would be a better analogy because no-one wants to get caught up in the work that really goes on underneath!

So, what’s my point. Not a lot really. I’m busy with “real” work for January (and a few months afterwards) as the annual review season opens – which means lots and lots of non-fiction writing that will never be appreciated by anybody, least of all the unnamed report author. And because I like a challenge, I want to get 25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf (set in the Alex Jones’ world, though not with her in it) finished and up to submission standard by the end of March. Why? Well, not just because I like a challenge. Angry Robot Books [External Link] will be having an open submission month in March. Like many of my writing friends, acquaintances and, dare I say, colleagues, I’ve decided to have a crack at it. And you guys won’t see any of this in terms of web-site updates.

Well, 13 more werewolves to kill so I’d better get back to work! See you next week.
