August update
Well, I can say that I have been busy – with uni studies – not writing like I would have hoped, but I’m doing a post-grad thing that goes until May, and it’s keeping me on my toes. Mind you I still have about 14 story submissions on the go, and I have not heard from any of them – which is good, and bad.
The other day, I went into town and was lucky enough to catch up with Jason Fischer for lunch. It is always great catching up with Jason, he is a bundle of focused writing energy who inspires you to jut throw everything else away and write (I almost forgot about assignments.) I am also hoping to catch up with the awesome presence which is David Conyers, and fam soon – that too is always a treat.
I can say that I have been able to don the mantle of Editor for Issue 47 of ASIM, which is due out just before WorldCon, to be held in Melbourne, Australia next year in September. I have some really great stories already picked out and am enjoying my time, slushing fiction, submitting reviews, picking stories for my Issue. It’s all good experience, and still I am quietly, picking away at my novel editing and working on two shortish stories when I get the time. Roll on a break from all this study!
So, I remember saying a while ago, that I was going to post a couple of photos from the last Con in Adelaide., and so with permission I’ll post these couple from the night. Angela Slatter and LL (Lisa) Hannett during the Masque Ball…
And the awesome Sean Williams, our host for the night:
And for those that want to know what I have been doing with my time really… Yes I have been riding around the countryside enjoying the rolling hills and the cold winter’s days on “her”.
