12:56 am - whoops, or how time flies
I apologise. But it's hectic here.
Work (as whined about in a few previous entries) is in overdrive. And writing is also, well, fairly hectic. I've just finished going through the copy-edits for the US version of The Lost Plot, and I have the proof-pages of the UK version waiting to be read through. And book five to write, of course.
I'm not getting much else done.
I have rewarded myself (expensively) by booking a couple of theatre tickets for when I'm in Vienna in October - for Don Giovanni at the Opera House, and the less-highbrow but still fun Tanz der Vampire at the Ronmacher Theatre later in the week. One forgets what theatre tickets these days cost until one has to buy them. Still, I'd rather pay a bit more and have good seats, than pay less and spend the holiday regretting not having sprung for good seats.
Oh, and I see that the next Doctor Who is going to be a woman. Should be interesting. Fingers crossed she gets good writing - I can see that she's already a good actress.

Opera tickets in Vienna were through the roof thirty years ago; I imagine they require a second mortgage on the house to buy now.
Any idea when work will calm down? Or is it 'not till autumn'? I didn't go for the best tickets in the house, but the ones I got certainly weren't cheap...
Current deadline is August 2nd. I then go on short holiday (to convention in London, then down to see parents in Southampton) on the 3rd August. Said annual leave has been booked for a while now, so changes were not an option when the work crunch hit. Which is a good thing. I would have disliked feeling guilty. |
