Back on the Horse Slacker!

It seems that there has been a huge lack of activity here, but far from it. Finally plucked Burn Issue 12 from the jaws of death and archived her online for those interested. Strange issue... it's nothing at all like Mark I or Mark II but it does hint at something else about to happen. It's not perfect but everything was getting a little bit old so it needed unleashing. I learned three very important things from this exercise:

1. Control freaks are control freaks for a reason. Never let somebody else handle all your important stuff. If it means that much to you, do it yourself. It may turn out to not look as good as if you gave it to somebody with all the time in the world, but at least it will have heart and soul. This is far more important.

2. If you are an uber-creative, while you think you are working on a certain thing, your mind is really planning other things to be getting on with. As soon as I pressed the button on B12, six other doors opened and presented various other projects waiting to be finished - including B13 who has come to the table and announced that she would like to be a bi-monthly publication starting on 1st May.

3. OK - I learned just two things...

Vying for the most attention is the almost finished Almost Human. I spent yesterday evening rummaging through unlabelled CDs, hard drives and other scrappy bits of media looking for my vast collection of songs and then trying to date it all - and put it in some kind of chronolgical order - not because I'm anally retarded but because a book like that would be totally useless if it wasn't. Seems to me now that a lot of projects crossed over somehow. I don't remember it being that way at all but this is apparently the case. It also crossed my mind that as an ebook, this would make a pretty cool product... that wasn't the original intention but maybe it's worth pursuing.

I'll start in on that tomorrow - maybe Friday. I feel the urge to go and check out My Bloody Valentine tomorrow... and it's not just those 3D glasses either! It actually looks like it might be worth a damn... and so does Friday 13th. It's the Supernatural showdown!
