Resolutions Revisited: March

[drasecretcampus]

Still been marking and teaching, so read very little, seen very little, but some useful films watched. Finally seen John Hegley after twenty years of trying (not trying very hard, to be honest) and saw Zoe Lyons. John Bishop postponed - due to doing telly stuff. So:

1. Probably write another chapter on The Man Who Fell to Earth
   
2. Rewrite review
   
3. Write a section for another guide to sf [I've done a plan for this]
   
4. Write an article on slipstream
   
5. Write a chapter based on the proposal on narratives
   
6. A 100,000 word book on seventies sf
