So, after having to stop writing Zero Point while in Crete to look at some copy editing on The Departure, then having to do the same again back here, I had to read through the entire thing again to get myself back on track. The book is now at 94,301words and, in the story, some serious shit is heading towards the fan.
Other news? Jon Sullivan is continuing to replace all my old covers, but at present is working on something a bit different for The Departure. Hopefully, this year, I’ll be popping in to London for a meeting with Julie Crisp and co and getting to meet this guy. I must make a selection of covers I want as prints and get him to bring them along.
Ah, incidentally, if you want to buy posters of those cover pictures, head over to Jon Sullivan Art and talk to the guy. I would like every one of them as prints but, despite being a step up on the property front, I don’t have enough walls to hang them on.
Right, I’ve done my 2,000 words today, and I’ve stopped to play for a little while, but now it's time to get back to it and start planning out some future scenes (shock horror!). Mmmm, did you know that an Alcubierre space-time bubble will produce massive tidal forces at the periphery of ? I thought not.

Incidentally, has anyone out there got a copy of the SFX issue a review of The Technician appeared in? I'd like a scan of that...
Should still have it, will check when i get home.
How fast do you read? Copy editing seems like it'd take me a long time.
Ok Neal, I have the issue of SFX. Do you want the mag, the page or a scan?
For whoever gets onto it first: just a scan of the page please!
Copy editing, mr-maigo, is terrible when you're doing it yourself. It's not so bad when it's been done by a professional and you just have to check their corretions and answer their queries.
So how much of a departure is the err Departure? Is that Polity or Cormac?
Larry, The Departure is a big departure from the Polity. No Cormac ... in fact I'll do a post about this.
Cool, a new universe!
When you come in to London you should announce it and we'll all come and meet you in pub.
Thanks for the scan Phil M. Nice to know that I am, apparently, a national treasure!
I might just do that, Graeme.
Hear hear Graeme. I'll even promise to be nice.
