Stacked to the nines.

This week, I've pretty much punished myself at both ends of the candle putting out another magazine and clearing up on about 16,000 words in other writing. Around 10k of that was on Turn The Lamp Down Low (not including the words and the day I sacrificed twisting what was already completed on the first section from a first person narrative into third to make it work properly) - the other 6k was spent tightening up some other things I have on the boil here. Overall not a bad weeks work but I crashed and burned out last night and gave up trying to think my way through the fog and took Eleanor and the kids to see The Amazing Spiderman. I say 'took the kids' but as we all know, this is just deep cover for not having to go see a movie by yourself. Anyway, today, my goal was to crank it up again and put down a good 4,000 more on Lamp before the weekend took over but I have to admit I'm struggling - hence the blog post. Sometimes when I write these, it's to keep the machine moving. Quite often, while I'm typing out stuff on here, all the ideas slot into the right places while I'm not looking. And sometimes, you just have to sit back and look at the copious amounts of words you've written in the last few days and wonder how the hell you managed to make them all sound different from each other. In other news, started getting some good feedback this week over the initial copies of Black Dye, White Noise but am encouraging people to leave any feedback they have either at amazon or itunes rather than here. Sometime later in the month, which I haven't even looked at yet, I'm doing a DJ slot in a club for some promo that's related to something else but I think we might be able to squeeze in some BDWN action somewhere along the line. More on that when I come up for air. It's only a couple of weeks away so I guess I'd better get my game face on pretty soon.

Actually, there's quite a lot of news kicking about that I haven't thought about too hard. Biggest news of all is probably that some time in September, I'm headed out to Colorado on a mission. Not sure if there'll be time to do anything else other than work while I'm there, but it won't be for want of trying. More on that some other time, right now though, I think I shall hit the 'post' button on this, go offline and proof the mag before trying to muscle up the CMYK matter back on track...
