Eastward!
I've been gone for a while...Dragon*Con was great and I've been in MA since then visiting my parents.
Today, we're leaving on a two-week trip to Holland, Belgium and London, which will be a much-needed respite for me and a fun trip for my family. I'm going to try and blog, and of course I'll be on Twitter. Expect a lot of picture posts and "YOU GUYS, I am eating CHOCOLATE" posts.
Writing-wise, I proofed Demon Bound and sent back the final version to Editor Rose. The revision to the YA had to go on hold for the con and proofs, but I have an eight-hour plane ride in my immediate future and I sense WORK happening en route to the land of wood shoes and legal weed. Perhaps even FINISHING. That would be so nice.
Coming up, I need to write "Under the Hill and Far Away" for the EDGE SF anthology, and turn in an outline for The Nightmare Clock, Iron Codex Vol. II to Editor Krista. Then while in Holland, I need to finish "Rusty Cage" and at least make a decent start on The Curse of Four for SubPress.
I am having visions of sitting beside a canal, a medieval castle, or POSSIBLY BOTH while I am WRITING and it will be full of GLAMO(U)R just like those girls who go to Europe to find themselves and end up eating wonderful things and having affairs with disaffected, floppy-haired Belgians who in turn sell them to Albanian gangsters.
Okay, that last part was the plot of Taken, which everyone who loves Who's More Grizzled? ex-spies should watch.
But I am totally serious about the castles and canals.
And the chocolate.
