And another week flits by...

Nothing from me again.

About 5k added since Sunday, which isn't bad going considering how hectic this week has been. However, nothing is really snippet-worthy; I'm in danger of posting the whole book as it is, so I'm trying to avoid that. Hopefully by next Friday I'll have a couple of worthy scenes.

In the meantime I'm sitting here in the office trying to get some bits and pieces out of the way whilst half-watching some DVDs I've been meaning to get around to for ages.

Oh - someone tells me that Robert Aspirin has died.

I'd almost forgotten him; I met him back in '94 at a convention. Three or four of us sat and drank with him in a bar, listening to his anecdotes for an evening. He told one about a gerbil; and later in that same convention - when presented with gaffa tape - regretted it.

And again...

...no snippet this week.

But things are better; I've started writing properly again, and the wordcount is picking up. I suspect draft 1 of Gasoline will be an ill-targeted mess, but then that's what first drafts are for, right?

Writing will slow down again this weekend - we're off to London, partly to see friends, partly to see family, partly to see Derren Brown's new stage show. I caught his TV show last night, "Trick or Treat", and it's deeply scary stuff.

Ideas are already creeping in for the next book... which I guess will start in November again this year. So I'd best stop typing this, and get back to writing!

Friday...

No snippet from me this week - I'm doing some plotting work on Gasoline. Hopefully I'll have something relevant next week. We'll see how it goes.

And away this weekend again, so will be late looking at other snippets.
