Are we there yet?
As said previously, January is the annual review period at work. So. January continues. Report writing continues. Enough about work.
Outside of work news, I’m now about half way through the first draft of 25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf (set in the Alex Jones’ world, though not with her in it). According to my copy of OpenOffice ([External Link]), I have 145 pages with 32,325 words on them. And my heroine (currently named Elkie Bernstein, not sure why that name occurred to me) has 12 more werewolves to send to the here-after. Yes, the plot does more or less exactly what it says on the tin. Well, discounting the fact that life is that thing that happens while you’re out killing werewolves and life keeps kicking poor Elkie in the… Actually, that’s not going to work, she doesn’t have the right anatomy. Will “stomach” do you? Anyway, I’m still aiming to finish and submit to Angry Robot Books [External Link] by the end of March. The wordage is going to need steroids and some serious workouts before I get there but I shall try.
I’m out at a couple of friends’ wedding next so the update next week will probably be on Monday (24th). Believe it or not, this will actually be my first trip North of the border to Scotland. Considering that I used to live in Cumbria (and one of my ex-sites was just 7 miles South of the border), my lack of adventure in Scotland is just shocking.
Well, see you next week.
