Just Life

I guess I hit a key and posted this before I had written anything. Let’s try this again. No word out of Hollywood, but Passover begins tonight so that’s not surprising. Hard for me, but not surprising.

I worked on a proposal for a shared world anthology that I’m putting together, and it’s just about ready to go. I also had a notion about how to write the third book in the EDGE series, and I ran my ideas past Daniel Abraham. (If you haven’t read his book A SHADOW IN SUMMER, run don’t walk to a bookstore and buy it.) Anyway, he’s in Critical Mass, and the person I most often brainstorm with, and he had some really cool ideas. From four viewpoint characters in book one and five in book two I think I will only have two viewpoint characters in this book, and it feels very right. It’s also going to be much more of a character study with very little run and jump. I’m really jazzed about it.

George and I have been talking about Wild Cards, and book two, BUSTED FLUSH is starting to come together. All in all it’s been a good day for writing.

I started the morning with a long walk, and ended it with a good ride on Pi. We even did a few flying changes of lead though they were rough because I still don’t have a lot of strength in my core muscles and my seat isn’t totally secure in the saddle.

So that was my day, and now I get to look forward to watching HOUSE.
