PLUG/REMINDER: The Girl From Yesterday is in the first issue of the Ranfurly Review [External Link]

This would be the last plug I made of The Girl From Yesterday, if not for one thing. I am in the process of moving and BT has decided that my new place isn’t connected. It will be mid-January before they send out an engineer to connect me. So the web-site will effectively be on hiatus for the next four to five weeks. I should be able to find enough internet access with work and family to check e-mails – don’t expect an immediate response – but gaming and web-site maintenance will not be happening.

PLUG/REMINDER: The Girl From Yesterday is in the first issue of the Ranfurly Review [External Link]

Nothing much going on this week, web-site or writing wise. I’m polishing my intended Cone Zero [External Link] submission. It’s on draft 2 and seems to make sense. To me, if to nobody else. Faith is a bit of a pig. I’m still busy first drafting. It’s coming out it bits and pieces and then I’ll have to stitch it all together and (hopefully) make it work. And Hybrid is just made it to the front of the Critter [External Link] queue, so next week I shall be having another look at that.

Other than that, I’m busy with: dog, moving house, the usual flood of admin work that comes with the end of school term, and preparing for my next job.

Welcome to Advent! I’m finally willing to admit that Christmas is on the way and have started singing along with the overdone festive songs in the shops.

And with the preparation for Christmas and the New Year, comes the preparation for a new job. I’ll be finishing at Netherhall School [External Link] at the end of term (Wednesday 19th December + plus a few non-term time days) and start as an Environmental Officer for the Waste Recycling Group [External Link] on Monday 7th January. It’ll be a full time job, so I’ll also be giving up my work at the CBDN [External Link] and will probably have to cut back on my writing. But don’t breathe a sigh of relief, because I don’t intend to give up completely!

Talking of writing, I’ve submitted The Big, Bad Wolf to the Drollerie Press Little Red Riding Hood Anthology [External Link], and the first draft of my Nemonymous Eight: Cone Zero [External Link] effort has been finished and is currently being tested on a number of lab-rats. Actually friends and family – it would be too cruel to force it on actual animals and the animals are more likely to eat it than read it, anyway. Finally, The Girl From Yesterday is in the first issue of the Ranfurly Review [External Link], so go read it!

PS I subscribed to the Murky Depths [External Link] on Thursday. My order for the “back issues” and my subscription arrived on Friday. And it is breathtaking!

Well, I’ve had some good news this week. I have successfully re-homed The Girl from Yesterday at The Ranfurly Reveiw [External Link]. The e-mail (dated 30/10/07) came through the ether on Wednesday (31/10/07). I’m now waiting for a letter from the editor, Colin Galbraith. Being a busy man, it could take up to a fortnight and until then, I won’t know whether my story will be published in the 1st issue (01/12/2007) or the 2nd (01/03/2008). More news as soon as I get it, I promise. But I have pre-emptively removed The Girl from Yesterday‘s sample page from the site. The Ranfurly Review is an e-zine, so the whole thing will be available to you in a matter of months.
