A week of happenings... finally!
I stand guilty of non-blogging my too many! Damn you all to hell for noticing such a minutiae for I have been a busy puppy... but where to start?
First of all, Turn The Lamp Down Low has acquired a new lease of life. What was once pitched at being a seedy detective novel is slowly spiraling into some kind of seedy, sinister supernatural yarn of epic proportions... and not an angel in sight. Not yet at least. (I detest alliteration... that will be the last time I ever use it. It serves no purpose other than to prove to your teacher that you know what it is. It simply looks as though you got on a roll and forgot how to get off it).
The implications of said changes to the plot are too much for my brain at the moment. That'll teach me to throw stones in the wishing well.
I've also unearthed all my notes for Too Hot for Dogs... it's about time that got finished off. Somewhere around here is enough artwork to propel me to at least the beginnings of issue four which takes us way past the half way point. As we can all attest to, this is known in the trade as a "good thing". Almost Human also thrives but there simply aren't enough hours in a day to crank the words out, so although it's being coming along swimmingly in my head, getting the words on the page is another matter.
However, I shall be doing absolutely nothing with any of these tomorrow for I have an interview with Kenny Kerner. Think long and hard fellow Kiss torch bearers... he be one of the people responsible for bringing us their debut album. It was a bit of a chance encounter, but the gift horse had his mouth open and I jumped in with both feet. I'll let you know where it gets shipped to...
Talking of gift horses, Joss Stone is in town this week for a couple of home-coming shows. I think I might get involved and bust her chops. I think she would be a great interview particularly if she was asked some real questions and not those local newspaper types:
Newspaper guy: So what's it like being home again now you're living in L.A.?
Joss: Well, I'll say it's awesome and really cool to be back here but in truth, I'm really fucking stoked that I left and the odds on me ever coming back having confirmed this fact are very slim.
Newspaper guy: That's great Joss! (Laughs to himself) What songs can we expect you to be singing for us?
Joss: Well, to make a change I thought I'd do the complete hits of the Motown era Diana Ross.
Newspaper guy: That's great too Joss! Would you like to go out for a drink with me?
Joss: Not really, no..
I know I won't be too far off the mark with that, so if I see it anywhere, I'll scan it in and post it up here for comparison.
I've also been invited by SKY to blog for their site. I'll get rumbled soon if I don't write something long and interesting! I won't be dual posting them here either but I will link to them over there on the right somewhere... maybe I'll even create a little SKY icon - it's been ages since I've done any showing off.
Finally, I hear a rumour there's a short story competition going down - which means The Tuba Farm is about get a bloody good hiding in the editing department. It's so nearly there I could cry but those who rejected it previously were right to do so.
I don't want to be published in a magazine that would have me anyway... where's the fun in that.
Currently listening to - and loving every second: Chris Cornell - Scream
Currently reading: The Rose Labyrinthe - Titania Hardie
Currently wondering: Why the hell there's a season break in Supernatural... and will Locke rip Ben apart when they meet up again on the island?
Currently: Wishing there was another end to burn on this candle.
