LOCATION: Windsor, Brisbane, Australia.
THE QUICK-AND-DIRTY UPDATES
- Just finished up ten straight days of marking assignments, and I’m rebuilding my writing routines.
- Pivoting into a month of fairly intense deadlines—I’ll be slow to respond to emails, comments, and messages.
- My brain is full of pirates, comics, and space mercenaries.
- If you read 11 years of Warren Ellis blog posts in the space of ten days it’ll do weird things to your brain.
CURRENT INBOX: 14 (plus 4 outstanding emails I still really need to send)
WORKING ON
- Editing Crusade (Keith Murphy Urban Fantasy Thriller #3)
- Finalising contracts that crashed into marking deadlines
