Works in Progress

Posted by Colin Harvey Jun 30, 2009

It's back to that odd time when there's a huge amount going on behind the scenes, but nothing yet to show for it.

I've had two lots of artwork to look at and to comment upon. Chris Moore has sent through revised artwork for Winter Song, which I hope to be able to share with you soon, and Andy Bigwood has done the same for Displacement, my first collection, which will be out in November. I guess I need to talk about that some more, but I think that I'll leave that for another occasion.

Meanwhile, I'm about three-quarters of the way through the revision of Damage Time, and also polishing up the chapter or two which will go in the back of Winter Song.

And in the next day or two my application to join SFWA goes in. If it's agreed, it'll be the fulifilment of an ambition I've held for over thirty years. Hugo voting is due on the 3rd, and I have to fill in application to the Arts Council. More on that another time.

And as if assorted form-filling and artworks weren't enough, I'm just starting to think about the next book. I can't talk too much about it now because it's still very nebulous.

Meanwhile, I'm watching the Angry Robot launch with great interest, because in three months I'll be where Kaaron Warren and Lauren Beukes are now. Which is more than a little scary. Good luck to both of them.
