feuervogel: (writing)
Substitution Cipher comes out in a week! I've got a blog post about the history behind the alternate history and one about my inspirations. I ... glossed over a lot of things, because I didn't want to write a 50-page essay.

It's up on Amazon, but not on Candlemark & Gleam's site yet. (Buy direct!)

Since I'd only seen the front cover before, not the back, I didn't know that my story was one of the three briefly blurbed in the back copy! Yay!

Going to see the Hobbit Friday night. I'm skeptical of Jackson's vision for it, as well as the whole stretching it over three movies thing, but I have to see it.

It's hard for me to focus when I have tinnitus.

I took a walk this afternoon, and after I got back, a conversation on twitter got me to the Writing Excuses transcripts* (which I didn't know existed!) and a sense of things I need to work on to get this story moving. But I may be able to do that tomorrow or Sunday, once my tinnitus and general off feeling go away.

*I can't listen to podcasts. I can't pay attention long enough. My mind wanders, or I want to be doing something else. I also can't listen to audiobooks. Sometimes I can't even pay attention to a five-minute news segment on NPR.

Also, if you don't read my real blog, I've put "U8: Alexanderplatz (1989)" on my site. If you like it, share it with your friends.

I only got 550 words today, mostly of going back and editing things. A couple changes of scenes altered continuity somewhat, so I had to fix that. And with this new assignment for work, I have less time to write than I did last week. Which means I need to focus. If I can work out the plan for the attack on the target, I can get moving in the plot again, which means I'll have a good word count again.

In RetroSpec news, we have a table of contents and a tentative publication date: October 2010.
