56 pages into the proofs for Hell & Earth, which, with the slush I did this morning, is being declared Enough Work For The Day. (Six corrections so far, two of them word rep and one a repetitive gesture.) How does the damned word rep make it all the way to the page proofs? You know, you would think by now I would have it out of this thing. And yet no.
And I can guarantee I will have missed some still, and the book will go to press with it.
Just found a scene that I actually like, though. This book is better than I remembered.
Speaking of which, I have the MMPB proofs for A Companion to Wolves here, so if anybody noticed any typos in the hardback, now would be a great time to mention it!
In other news, my latest column for Storytellers Unplugged is up here (http://www.storytellersunplugged.com/when-the-other-shoe-bonks-you-on-the-head), and Laser Books has announced that the Czech version of Hammered will be available in December (http://www.laser-books.cz/modsf_plan.html).
I am much less stressed.
Had a dream last night in which my subconscious assured me that I had done the right thing in bailing on trying to write Chill right this second, so I'm feeling more assured that I did the right thing there. This is especially significant as I almost never remember my dreams, so it's a big deal when one shows up and makes itself Important.
The cat seems glad I'm home; she's just gotten off my lap for the first time since 5 pm yesterday.
Now, I get to take some naproxen for my neck, and practice guitar until it's time to go climb.
