Not a great day for writing.
A lot of things are happening - or rather not happen - and it's difficult to write when things are nagging away at the back of your head. But I still put in a shift at the laptop.
DM3 is now getting to the stage where I'm revising chapters and scenes to a) make them read better and b) make them mesh with the rest of the book. This is always painstaking and quite debilitating work where you can put in eight hours hard graft and have precious little to show for it. Today I've been working on a WhoDoo ritual that takes place in the JAD and is quite complicated in that there's a metaphysical, psychedelic aspect which is tricky to describe without getting all New Age.
Still...hopefully once this is behind me I can hit clear air and dive into what Norma's been up to back in the Rookeries.
About Me
- THE DEMI-MONDE
- Hi, my name is Rod Rees and I'm a writer of science fiction/fantasy. My first book 'The Demi-Monde: Winter' is due for publishing on Quercus on 6th January 2011. It's being billed as a 'steampunk thriller'. Aside from writing my other ambitions are for my two brilliant daughters to be everything they can be (and that's a lot!)and for my wonderful wife Nelli to be as successful as she deserves to be (her book on glass jewellery making is out in November). I HATE surveillance and the intrusion of the State in our lives. I believe in Kondratieff Cycles and that history beats crystal balls, astrology and tarot all to hell when it comes to predicting the future. I believe there's nothing new in the world, it's all just a re-tread.
